Making pumpkin pie spice is easy, and I bet you have everything you need to make it already sitting in your spice cabinet! Use this spice blend and add a warm, toasty flavor to muffins, quick breads, cakes, coffee drinks, savory dishes, and my favorite, pumpkin pie! Use this blend whenever pumpkin pie spice blend is called for or use it as a substitution for cinnamon.
We typically use the basic blend for our recipes but try adding one or more of optional spices listed below for more complexity. See the article above for a brief explanation of each spice.
You Will Need
Basic Blend
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Optional Spices (use one or more)
3/4 teaspoon finely grated or ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Stir spices together, and then store in a spice jar or mason jar.
Ground spices typically last for 1 to 2 years.
