As you can probably tell by now, I love making my own spice mixes. Why buy a specialized mix like taco seasoning or bbq rub when you can make it yourself with spices you already have at home?!

This pumpkin pie spice recipe is perfectly spiced for all your warm fall recipes.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe Ingredients

  • Cinnamon: This makes up the majority of this pumpkin pie spice recipe. It brings all the warm, spicy goodness.
  • Ginger: Ginger brings a yummy zing to the mix along with a delicious earthy flavor.
  • Nutmeg: Brings a slightly sweet and rich, distinct aroma to the spice mix.
  • Cloves: You just need a little bit of ground cloves to bring lots of strong, slightly bitter flavor. They balance out nicely with the sweetness of the cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • Allspice: Allspice tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and a little spice of pepper. It helps balance out the sweetness in this pumpkin pie spice.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice

Gather your ingredients and mix them well in a small bowl. Spoon the spice mixture into an airtight container. Or, place all your ingredients in a jar, seal it and shake it like crazy until it’s uniform in color.

I like to use little spice jars to store my homemade mixes. You can get cute labels for them or write on the jar with a dry erase marker.

After mixing the spices, they should last for about 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place. You can technically use it after that time period but the flavor might not be as potent.

Why Make Your Own?

First, you probably already have everything you need to make your own pumpkin pie spice. Why buy a seperate item when you have all the components at home?

Second, you can also control the ingredients. No MSG or weird ingredients here. And you can change around the amounts a bit if you really love the sweetness of cinnamon or the strong flavor of cloves.

Lastly, it’s way cheaper to make it at home. Especially if you keep these ingredients stocked in your kitchen already.
