Simple Plum Crumble

This simple plum crumble is not only incredibly delicious but also super easy to make and requires only 8 ingredients. It’s a great dessert to whip up if you feel like something fruity and sweet and don’t want to work too hard but are happy to wait for it to bake in the oven. It’s also a fabulous dessert to make for guests, as you can prepare the crumble ahead of time and either keep the crumble warmed up in the oven while you have dinner or reheat the crumble just before serving.

Talking about serving, this crumble is delicious by itself. However, in my opinion it’s even better with a scoop of plant based vanilla ice cream. It’s also lovely topped with coconut yoghurt if that’s more your thing.

For this recipe I used strawberry gum, a native Australian spice. I added it to the plums to accentuate the crumble’s beautiful fresh and fruity flavour. If you’re in Australia, you can order strawberry gum online or you might be able find it in your local independent grocer. Unfortunately, I don’t know how easy strawberry gum is to find in other parts of the world. If you cannot get your hands on this spice in your location, then I recommend you swap the strawberry gum for ground cinnamon.
