    Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice is incredibly easy to make and tastes just as good, if not better, than the store-bought kind. Next time you reach into your cupboard for pumpkin spice and find your jar almost empty, mix up your own with ingredients you probably already have! It is way easier on the pocketbook (why is pumpkin spice so expensive anyway?), and your fall baking can continue without a trip to the store for more pumpkin spice!

    It's that time of year again, the weather has cooled down, there's a chill in the air, and you will find me busy baking up a storm in my kitchen.

    I grow a huge patch of pumpkins in my garden every year, and I make pumpkin puree and freeze it to last the entire year. My husband looks forward to the first pumpkin pie of the season made with fresh pumpkin ... it's so good! 🙂

    I also like to make pumpkin cream cheese muffins, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin smoothies, and pumpkin lattes with all the pumpkin puree. With all these pumpkin recipes, I go through a lot of pumpkin pie spice.

    The other day I was making pumpkin muffins, and I ran out of pumpkin pie spice. The container I had only contained about 2 tablespoons of spice, so it doesn't last long. So I looked at the ingredient list on the tin, and I already had all of the ingredients in my cupboard!

    Top tip

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

      I'm really glad I found this! I make pumpkin fluff every year for Thanksgiving and one year I forgot the Pumpkin Pie Spice. I could have made it myself. I have all these ingredients!
