Nourish Your Glow: The Ultimate Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble (Skillet Recipe, No Oats)

A Seasonal Beauty Ritual You Can Eat

At Nourished Desires, we believe that glow doesn’t start with what you put on your skin — it starts from within.
And the most powerful way to nourish that glow?
Eating with the seasons — allowing nature to feed you exactly what your body needs in this moment.

This healthy strawberry rhubarb crumble recipe is a love letter to your body, your senses, and your glow.
It’s made with spring’s most radiant fruits — fresh strawberries and vibrant rhubarb — sweetened with maple syrup and crowned with a buttery einkorn crumble.

No refined flours. No artificial sweeteners.
Just clean, vibrant, in-season ingredients — and a ritual worth savoring.

Why This Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Is a Glow-Enhancing Dessert

Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that supports collagen production, brightens the skin, and helps defend against environmental stress.

Rhubarb is packed with fiber, antioxidants, and natural cleansing properties that awaken digestion and gently detoxify the body — perfect for supporting a clear, vibrant complexion.

Einkorn flour, an ancient heirloom grain, is lower in gluten, easier to digest, and naturally richer in minerals compared to modern wheat — a softer, more nurturing touch for the gut.

And when you eat seasonally — like enjoying strawberries and rhubarb in spring — you align with the rhythms of nature, supporting your body's natural renewal, hydration, and lightness after the heaviness of winter.
Seasonal eating isn’t just healthy — it’s intuitive, sensual, and deeply connected to beauty from within.

Ingredients:

(Serves 4–6)

For the Filling:

• 2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

• 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

• 4 whole cloves

• 2–4 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup einkorn flour

• 4 tablespoons French butter (L’Isigny with sea salt or grass-fed butter)

• 2–3 tablespoons organic brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• Splash of pure vanilla extract

How to Make This Glow-Boosting Skillet Crumble

1. Prepare the Fruit:

In an oven-safe skillet (such as cast iron), gently toss the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, cloves, and maple syrup. Spread the fruit mixture evenly across the pan.

2. Make the Crumble:

In a bowl, combine einkorn flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and cubed French butter. I use a knife to lightly crumble the mixture. Some like to use a fork. Others use their hands.

Sprinkle half the crumble evenly over the fruit mixture in the skillet.

3. Bake:

Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 375°F and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.

4. (Optional but Divine) Extra Crumble:

For extra texture, bake a second small batch of crumble separately on a lined baking sheet. Once golden and crisp, break it into pieces and scatter it over the finished crumble before serving.

5. Serve:

Spoon the warm crumble into bowls and top with a scoop of organic vanilla ice cream. Let it melt into the fruit and crumble — the way beauty melts into pleasure.
