Pumpkin Pie Spice is so easy to make at home, and you probably already have all of the spices on hand! Use this spice recipe to flavor all of your favorite fall pies, cakes, cookies and other goodies!
I love making things at home that are easy to be made from pantry staples. This pumpkin pie spice, homemade Cajun seasoning, Jamaican jerk seasoning, or even my own homemade teriyaki sauce!
I have been in the mood to bake like crazy. Combine that with the cooling temps and pumpkin popping up all over the place – don’t be surprised if you find me in my kitchen baking several times a week now!
Today’s recipe is such a simple one, but one I always need on hand. Pumpkin Pie Spice is so easy to make at home, you’ll wonder why you ever bought it!
Reasons to Make Your Own Pumpkin Pie Spice at Home
- First of all, because it will save you money. Those little jars of spices can get super pricey, so you’re saving money here by making your own. Especially if you are able to buy your main spices in bulk.
- Second, it’s always the worst when you go to make a recipe, thinking you have pumpkin pie spice on hand, only to realize that you don’t. This homemade pumpkin pie spice will only take minutes to combine, and then you can keep it in a small jar to use all season long.
- Third, because you can make as much or as little as you want. The recipe below makes just under half a cup. That will actually last a while, but if you don’t use it a lot, the recipe is easy to scale down, or if you are making something for a crowd, it’s easy to size up!
What You’ll Need
This pumpkin pie spice blend simply consists of:
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Ginger
- Allspice
- Cloves
These are all spices that I keep on hand at all time, so it’s super easy to make a batch whenever I need to!
How to make Pumpkin Pie Spice

I am simple, and like to keep my homemade spice mixes in simple small jars. I love using pint sized jars, unless it is a small batch and I’ll use an 8 oz jar.
