What to do

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan.ÌýÌý
2. Toss together the plums, blackberries, vanilla, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, and a small pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness of the fruit). Tip into an ovenproof dish (roughly 25x30cm).
3. To make the crumble, sift the flour into a bowl then toss together with the oats, almonds, and sea salt flakes. Pour in the maple syrup and olive oil and use your fingers to bring everything together until the mixture resembles wet breadcrumbs. A few larger lumps are great as these will create a lovely crunchy texture once cooked.Ìý
4. Scatter the crumble over the fruit and cook for 30-35 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Serve with coconut yoghurt or vegan ice cream.Ìý
