Made this twice. The second time used 1/2 C brown sugar and only 4T butter. All butter went into the topping (instead of 2 more T into the filling). Didn’t miss it in the filling, actually preferred the cleaner taste without it. Followed someone else’s advice and used 1/2C rolled oats and 1/2C oat bran in the topping to make a bit more. Used ‘regular’ plums the first time and barely noticed them. Used very ripe Italian-type plums the second time and they added great flavor.

I didn’t have oat bran so I used flaxseed with the fruit and rolled oats in the topping. It tasted good but was soupy. Some cornstarch with the fruit might have helped.

Made a few substitutions: needed it to be dairy-free, so used Earth Balance instead of butter (to no deleterious effect). Subbed 1/2 c maple syrup for the brown sugar in the fruit. Used rolled oats instead of oat bran, which surely means the texture was different than intended, but it was still tasty. And finally, threw in a handful of fresh blueberries and slivered almonds because I had them. It was delicious, though I might try cutting down the sugar next time.

Used 1/2 c oat flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats instead of oat bran. Delicious.
