Make this 4-ingredient homemade pumpkin pie spice in under a minute! You’ll never buy this spice blend from the store again after you make it at home.
What do you do when your in the middle of baking multiple recipes and you run out of pumpkin pie spice? Why you make a batch of homemade pumpkin pie spice from scratch instead of running to the store. If your cabinet is well stocked, like mine you’ll be able to make this in just a minute. It only takes 4 spices to make pumpkin pie spice. Yep that’s it and yet we spend a lot of money for just a small amount in the store. After making my own pumpkin pie spice I don’t think I’ll ever buy it in the store again. It just doesn’t make sense to me!

Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice
The four magical spices you need are: ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground all spice. That’s all you need! Measure the spices (my OXO measuring spoons are my favorite), then mix it up and place it in an airtight container. I think it took me longer to find the spices than it did to make it! Since I had just finished my pumpkin pie spice I just poured my mix back into my existing pumpkin pie spice container. And now I have more for another day of baking!
FAQs

Pumpkin spice is made up of a variety of spices including nutmeg, cinnamon, ground clove, and ground ginger.
This homemade pumpkin spice blend will last 3-6 months if sealed tightly and stored in a dark dry cabinet.
Did you know that spices go bad much quicker then you might realize. It’s a good rule of thumb to throw out spices every 6-12 months. I like to start my year off fresh and replenish all my spices at the beginning of the year. Another way to keep track would be to write the purchase date on the bottom of the jar.
