Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice is easy to make, a super fragrant spice blend, perfect for desserts that taste like fall. Blend just a few common spices and make delicious pumpkin pies, cookies, lattes, and more!
Fall is probably my favorite season. The weather starts to cool down, and I can start enjoying my warm keto pumpkin spice latte on the balcony listening to the sound of falling leaves.
One of the reasons I prefer making pumpkin spice at home besides it being economical, it’s the flavor. I usually ground nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in my spice grinder to get the best flavors. Right now my kitchen smells like fall and so does my spice cupboard if I forget to put the lid back on the pumpkin spice jar!
It’s crazy I used to spend $5 on small containers of pumpkin spice that are enough just for a pumpkin pie. Since we are all big lovers of everything pumpkin spice, making it at home it’s the best option! It’s always cheaper to make seasoning mixes at home, so we are always whipping up Taco Seasoning or Ranch Seasoning.
Ingredients for Pumpkin Pie Spice
Cinnamon is one of the five ingredients you’ll need for making pumpkin spice.
There are two cinnamon types: Ceylon and Cassia. The first one has a complex flavor that is perfect for ice-cream and sauces. The second one, Cassia Cinnamon is the most common variety and has a strong taste that’s ideal for baking.
Nutmeg has a nutty warm flavor that is mostly used in desserts, curries and has many potential benefits that may reduce inflammation and may help you control blood sugar.
Overall, this pumpkin spice is not only a delicious addition to fall recipes but packed with potential benefits. Here are the spices you’ll need:
- 3 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ tsp ground allspice
- 1 tsp ground cloves
