Triple Ginger Grain Free Gingerbread
You’ll fall in love with this yummy fall baking project! A grain-free, healthier dessert option, our Triple Ginger Gingerbread brings out the strong, spicy flavors that provide comfort in the cooling autumn season. Ginger is certainly the star of this show, appearing in three different forms: grated, ground and candied.
Another important character is revealed in the option for pureed pumpkin, squash or sweet potato, which offers a hidden source of vitamins and minerals. Molasses and maple syrup round out the cast to provide a depth of sweetness that can’t be beat. Bake up this sweet-tooth friendly recipe up as individual muffins or pour into a cake pan and slice to serve.
