What Is Pumpkin Pie Spice?

Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of spices that are often used for recipes like pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread. All you need is 5 spices to make pumpkin pie spice!

You can use it in all kinds of recipes including adding it to your coffee grounds, or blending it into almond milk pumpkin lattes. It basically screams fall.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Ingredients

Let’s talk about these 5 spices you need for this pumpkin pie spice recipe. I want to break down each one of these pumpkin pie spice ingredients for you, then you can whip up your first batch. The amounts you’ll need are on the recipe card below!

  • Cinnamon – Cinnamon is the primary flavor in a pumpkin pie spice mix! It’s also an antioxidant, and has magnesium and iron.
  • Ginger – You can use ginger to aid in digestion, and it has folate, zinc, and vitamin B6.
  • Allspice – This tasty little spice packs a significant impact on flavor. It has fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and more.
  • Clove – Delicious and flavorful spice that has vitamin C, fiber, manganese, and vitamin K.
  • Nutmeg – It’s good for you and has some much-needed potassium. The flavor is a must for any good pumpkin pie spice blend.

How To Make Pumpkin Pie Spice

If you have 5 minutes to spare and a few basic spices, you can make this pumpkin spice recipe! Seriously, it’s that easy, and you are going to love the flavor it adds to your autumn dishes.

  • Mix spices together. Blend the cinnamon, ginger, allspice, clove, and nutmeg until they are thoroughly mixed.
  • Store in an airtight container with a lid. That’s it! I told you it was easy.

Can I Substitute Spices?

Yes, you can substitute spices. For example, if you are out of cloves, you can use one of the other spices instead. It will change the flavor of the pumpkin spice, depending on which spice you substitute.

TIP: Just don’t skip or substitute the cinnamon – it’s an important one!

It’s nice that you can be flexible with these pumpkin pie spice ingredients, because if you don’t like a particular spice or you run out, you can still make it.

Ways To Use Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

You can use this DIY pumpkin pie spice in all sorts of recipes. Here are a few ideas to try out next time you are baking or in the mood for pumpkin spice mix:

  • Pie – Of course, this is going to be a go-to idea because when you think of homemade pumpkin spice, it’s impossible not to think of pie.
  • Granola – Try out my pumpkin spice granola, and you will see what you have been missing out on all these years.
  • Latte or Coffee – When you add a little sprinkle of homemade pumpkin pie spice in your latte, it literally tastes like fall in your mouth! You can even add it to an iced caramel macchiato.
  • Roasted veggies – You will be amazed by how flavorful roasted veggies like squash or mashed sweet potatoes are with a dash of DIY pumpkin pie spice. Try it out!
  • Oatmeal – If you love oatmeal, try my paleo oatmeal recipe and use a sprinkle or two of this pumpkin pie spice recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Vs. Allspice

This pumpkin pie spice recipe is not the same as allspice, but they share some commonalities. Obviously, allspice is one of the pumpkin pie spice ingredients, but the others complete the flavor profile.

DIY pumpkin pie spice is a blend of 5 ingredients. Allspice itself is also a blend of ingredients, but it’s usually made of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. So basically it is lacking ginger compared to this pumpkin pie spice recipe.

TIP: If you don’t have allspice, you can add more cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg to your pumpkin pie spice mix instead.

How Do You Store Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend?

Store the homemade pumpkin pie spice in an airtight container. It will last around 6 months, stored in a cool, dark place.
