This aromatic and sweet mix of warm spices contains no pumpkin, despite its well-known name, Pumpkin Pie Spice.
The cozy mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice is most famous for flavoring traditional pumpkin pie; however, its delicious, versatile nature has caused it to be a must-have addition to a wide array of autumn-themed dishes, both sweet and savory, and beverages too.
With this simple, money-saving homemade warm spice blend, it’s possible to make enough pumpkin pie spice mix to get all the way through pumpkin-spice-everything-season with one less item on the grocery list.
I honestly have a spice jar filled with this mix in my pantry at all times, but I freshen up my spice bottle when autumn arrives.
You best believe that that little pumpkin pie spice jar is about to be in constant use!
This recipe begins with a large measure of sweet and spicy cinnamon that is complemented and balanced by a medley of other pantry-staple warm spices. This recipe consists of my favorite ratio of essential ingredients to make simple pumpkin pie spice.
As with any other recipe, you can use my recipe as a base and change up the amounts provided to suit your own preferences, but this is the exact mix I’ve been using for many years.

Hi Sherry, thank you so much! Yes, it’s good in so many things. I love to put a good sprinkle in smoothies and coffee drinks 🙂
I have always thought it was a good idea to make your own mixes. Things stay fresher longer that way! Excellent post, my friend.
Thank you so much, David!! I agree about the homemade spice mixes, 100% There are a few little packets I still buy because we enjoy them, but I do enjoy being able to make some on my own 🙂
