I use this jar of pumpkin pie spice all through Fall (also known as “Pumpkin Season” in my house). A teaspoon of pumpkin pie spices adds a little Fall flavor to pretty much everything!
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Mix
There’s nothing wrong with store-bought pumpkin spice. I have plenty of spice aisle blends in my spice rack, for good reason. They’re convenient, of course. As with most convenience products, I really enjoy making my own spice blends where possible. Controlling what goes in (and what doesn’t) is the best part!!
Oftentimes, I’ll see a recipe calling for Pumpkin Pie Spice, which can easily be bought at the grocery store, but as with my own spice blends like Cajun Seasoning, Tuscan Seasoning, Poultry Seasoning & Taco Seasoning, I figured if I can make those, I can make this too!
I hope you enjoy this easy recipe. I make a full batch every Fall, (sometimes two) to get me through the baking season! This is a wonderful Fall spice that lends itself very well to pretty much everything!
I do have a homemade pumpkin pie recipe, they’re actually minis (so I can eat 4 and consider it “balanced” and ignore the fact that I add whipped cream to each one)
FAQs
A combination of spices cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg.
Nope, sure isn’t! It’s a component of pumpkin spice, but not the entire mix.
Yes, and no. It will depend on each brand of spice that you use to make your mix. If you need to be gluten-free – make sure to check packaging and look for “Certified Gluten-Free”

I must say… I saw this and was making some green beans and remembered your tip to try it on roasted veggies. I was a little bit hesitant, but boy am I glad I tried it on them… I love green beans and your pumpkin spice made them so different and gives me another way to eat a healthy veggie!
