Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe
This pumpkin pie spice recipe is the perfect, make-it-at-home recipe for the autumn and winter season.
For me, pumpkin spice is a nearly spiritual experience. I can’t go down to the local grocery store spice aisle and just pick up any ol’ bottle off the spice rack.
No… I need my pumpkin spice to transport me through October with visions of pumpkins, hay rides, and bonfires. I need my pumpkin spice to stand strong on its aroma alone, not to mention having a deep and very rich flavor.
Fall Flavor
Pumpkin spice should be a full experience for the senses this time of year. It should make you want to eat pumpkin spice pancakes for breakfast and then bake pumpkin spice muffins all day long while sipping pumpkin spice lattes and eating pumpkin pie. A really good diy pumpkin pie spice should inspire the Autumn within you.
So if you make this, take the time to breathe it in. To fully experience every detail of the rich and beautiful aroma. Then get in the kitchen and see what it inspires in you! Enjoy this pumpkin season with all the flavors and aromas it has to offer.
Easy recipes for pumpkin pie spice are abundant. But they all have their own accents and nuances. You can easily make them in larger or smaller batches.
Making your own pumpkin pie spice is not only quick and easy, but quite healthy to boot! All those beneficial spices without any added sugar or preservatives give you a wonderfully beneficial spice mix. In fact, any time you make your own spice blends, you can feel pretty good about anything you add them to.
Recipe Notes: If you are unsure about the spiciness of the ginger, start with half the amount and add more if you think it’s appropriate. I like mine with some kick and this recipe reflects that.

Horray for Fall and your wonderful recipes!!
Phyllis – Awww, thanks! 🙂
This sounds so good. You should do an apple pie spice also!!
Lauren – Working on it. 🙂
Hooray, now I can continue to enjoy pumpkin spice coffee! At least, I think I can…I think I should just sprinkle it over a freshly poured cup? I’ve recently started trying to eat clean and just this morning sadly put down the bag of pre-pumpkin-spiced grounds after reading, “artificial flavors.” This will make mornings much more appealing 🙂
Molly – No, I wouldn’t sprinkle it in. What type of coffee maker do you have? Paper filter? French press?
It’s a (cone-shaped) paper filter one 🙂
Molly – Then I would just mix the spice in with the coffee grounds. Enjoy!
Awesome!! I’ve been revamping my spice cabinet with my own ‘clean’ spices and this is one of the spices I needed to make – can’t wait to try it. Thank you!
Dyenna – My pleasure! I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
