Plum and coconut crumble

After discovering coconut flour in a supermarket recently, I've started using it in a few baking experiments. I know that many people aren't fans of coconut, but the flour shouldn't be confused with the desiccated variety. It's less sugary, so the delicious coconut flavour really comes through.

Makes 4 portions

Filling

500g ripe purple plums, quartered, but not skinned

Topping

100g coconut flour
65g butter
50g sugar

  1. Put the quartered plums in the bottom of a medium-sized oven-proof dish. If your plums aren't completely ripe, sprinkle with a little sugar.
  2. Put the coconut flour, butter and sugar in a bowl. With your fingers, massage the ingedients together until they are the texture of breadcrumbs.
  3. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the plums and bake at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
