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.

I love the flavor of gingerbread and don’t see the need to restrict it to the winter holiday season.  This is actually my first nut-free muffin recipe, created especially for my mother-in-law’s recent visit.  My mother-in-law, who is allergic to nuts, loves ginger, which is great because she got to enjoy 4 different versions of these pumpkin gingerbread muffins before they were perfect!.  Yields 12 muffins.
