Cinnamon & Maple Baked Plums

Plums are underrated as a dessert fruit. Baked until soft and collapsing, they release their deep, jammy juices. A little maple syrup and cinnamon is all they need. Serve with yoghurt or just as they are.

Ingredients (Serves 2):

• 4 ripe plums, halved and stoned
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Greek yoghurt to serve

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan).
2. Place the plum halves cut-side up in a small baking dish.
3. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon.
4. Bake for 15–20 minutes until soft and juicy.
5. Serve warm with yoghurt.

Why it's gut-friendly: Plums are known for their gentle digestive benefits—sorbitol and fibre support regularity. Cinnamon helps stabilise blood sugar. A simple, gut-loving dessert.
