Blend your own Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice! Ditch the store-bought jars, and make this super easy recipe.
It will keep in an airtight jar ready for whenever you want to use it! Use it in everything that calls for a little Pumpkin Spice.
There’s nothing wrong with store-bought spice mixes. They’re convenient, of course. But, as with most convenience products – I really enjoy making my own 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 Cajun Seasoning, Tuscan Seasoning, Poultry Seasoning & Taco Seasoning, I figured if I can make those, I can make this too!
What is pumpkin pie spice made of?
A blend of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg
Is allspice the same as pumpkin spice?
Nope, sure isn’t! It’s a component of pumpkin spice, but not the entire mix.
Is pumpkin spice gluten-free?
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 hope you enjoy this pumpkin pie spice 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 recipe for pumpkin pie, they’re actually minis (so I can eat 4 and consider it “balanced”)
INGREDIENTS:

- Use in these recipes:
- Sprinkle on roasted vegetables – Fall veggies taste even better!
- Add it to coffee: Mix pumpkin pie spice with your coffee grounds, or sprinkle it top!

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! LOVE LOVE LOVE — thanks!
