About Pumpkin Pie Spice
Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix is a simple blend of warm spices, making it a must-have ingredient for all fall and holiday baking.
Although this spice mix can be added to various dishes, it’s called PUMPKIN PIE Spice because it was originally created to add a little flavor and spice to pumpkin pies.
Made with just 5 ingredients, this easy DIY spice mix comes together in under 5 minutes.
Now, you must wonder why you should make it at home when it is so easily available in the market.
Making this spice mix at home offers numerous benefits.
- It is made using the best quality ingredients.
- There are no added chemicals or preservatives.
- It is much more economical.
- You can easily customize it to your taste. Increase the quantity of the spices you like and reduce the quantity of the ones that you are not too fond of.
It is also a great gift option for the holidays. Fill it in glass bottles and stick pretty labels, and a great, economical DIY food gift will be ready in no time.
Ingredients
This aromatic spice mix is a blend of lovely, warm spices that evoke the essence of fall and holiday baking. It has ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and allspice powder.
Ground Black Pepper and Ground Green Cardamom can also be added to it for added flavor.
The ingredients in this pumpkin spice mix can be easily customized to suit your preferences. Add more ginger and clove for a sharper, robust flavor, or add more cinnamon for a softer flavor.

- 3 tablespoons of ground cinnamon

Usage Ideas
This strong, spicy, and aromatic spice mix is traditionally used to flavor delectable pumpkin pies. However, you can also use it to flavor other dishes.
I like to sprinkle it on the top of my fall drinks; it adds a deliciously spicy and cinnamony flavor to them. Pumpkin Pie Spice Martini, Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Pumpkin Juice are some of my favorite drinks that I use this mix for.
Use it to make my Pumpkin Spice Granola and Pumpkin Pie Spice Smoothie and enjoy it for breakfast.
It elevates the taste of desserts, such as the Pumpkin Fluff Dessert Dip.
You can also sprinkle it on pancakes, waffles, fresh toast, or homemade bread for your weekend breakfast.
You can also use this spice to make spiced nuts and snack on them whenever you are hungry.
Storage Suggestions
This spice mix will keep for 6 months in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
To increase its shelf life even more (up to a year), refrigerate it.
