About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

Pumpkin pie is my absolute favorite Fall dessert. It’s one of those seasonal foods that I start craving around Canadian Thanksgiving in early October, and it’s a treat I enjoy all the way through Christmas! In my pre-Paleo days, I was well-known among my friends and family for making The Best pumpkin pie. It was nearly famous, and I was pretty proud of my recipe! I’ve recreated it in faithfully in The Best Paleo Pumpkin Pie, but this version is my AIP spin on that classic!

This recipe relies on Sweet Potato Flour for a crust base. It creates a perfect texture when combined with a little tapioca flour. The filling is extra creamy, too, thanks to a combination of coconut cream and gelatin. This pie is THE pie for you if you want a traditional dessert that’s AIP as an afterthought.
