What is Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix?

Pumpkin pie spice isn’t just for pumpkin pie! It’s a blend of warm, aromatic spices that capture everything we love about autumn. Cinnamon brings sweetness, ginger adds zing, nutmeg gives that nutty warmth, while cloves plus allspice round it out with a deep, cozy aroma. I love to sneak in a pinch of cayenne for a little fall fire, but you can always leave it out.

Spice Mix Secrets

This combination of spices needs a good whisk to evenly distribute the flavors.
Spice it up! Add the cayenne if you like a subtle kick. It is surprisingly delightful in pumpkin spice cookies.
It’s not just for pie. Stir DIY pumpkin pie spice into coffee, oatmeal, pancake batter, muffins, or roasted nuts for a fall-inspired flavored upgrade.
Double or triple the batch! Perfect to gift in little jars for a homemade hostess gift.

To Seal and Store

Store the blend in an airtight container away from light and heat. Small mason jars work very well and are great for gifting. But I love these little Rubbermaid containers because they are just the right size, plus they stack nicely.
DIY pumpkin pie spice will stay fragrant for up to 6 months, though let’s be honest you will likely use it all long before then.
