    DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice

    1.3K shares
    Jump to Recipe

    When I posted my recipe for Easy Vegan Pumpkin Pie a couple of years ago (which by the way is one of my most popular recipes), I soon found out that pumpkin pie spice isn't available in all countries. Why did I wait two whole years to post this homemade recipe? I have no idea. But it's finally here, my DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice!

    Not only is pumpkin pie spice handy for the people who don't have it available in their country, but around Thanksgiving it always seems to be sold out at the grocery store, and it's often pricey.

    DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice is so easy to make, just add the 5 ingredients to a jar, shake, and you're done! This homemade recipe is perfect for when you run out, or when the store is sold out. Bonus points: it's even better than the store-bought spice. #itdoesnttastelikechicken

    If you are new to this lovely flavour, it's just a combination of spices used to make pumpkin pie. I know, it's pretty much as obvious as it can be. The beauty of it is, that when you have it on hand, it makes whipping up a pumpkin pie super duper easy.

    But there's more! (Do I sound like an infomercial yet)? You can use it all over the place. I use it in my Vegan Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal, my 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Pie Spice Syrup, but you could also sprinkle it into a smoothie, stir it into Vegan Coconut Whipped Cream, add some to my Perfect Vegan Sugar Cookies, or sprinkle it over popcorn with a little sugar. Having a little jar on hand makes autumn feel extra special.

    To develop my recipe, I just looked at the ingredient list on the store bought one I had on hand.

    Which were cinnamon, ginger, ground nutmeg, all spice, and cloves. So I experimented until I got what looked and smelled like the same ratios as the store-bought spice. But better! (Infomercial alert). I don't know why but my homemade spice is way more fragrant than the store-bought spice, and it tastes better too!

    To Make DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice:

    Simply add all of the spices to a small jar, and shake, shake, shake until it's evenly mixed! Done. Sprinkle away, my friends.

        All spice is it's own spice. You can see it here on amazon for example.

      Hmmm, I originally thought those are kind of odd measurements. But when I completed your recipe it all fit back perfectly in my empty pumpkin pie spice shaker. That made me smile! You are a Pro Sam!!! Thx

      My daughter brought over a jar of your spice mix last Thanksgiving and we made pies together. She forgot to take the jar with her when she left. She said I could just keep it 🙂 I've used it ever since, sprinkling some in my coffee, tossing some with granola before stuffing into apples for baking... the spice mix brings that cozy holiday feeling every time. Thank you!

      I have no idea how I missed this recipe before. I remembered that I added a favorite to your pumpkin spice syrup recipe to try, so I pulled that up today. Since it's September, therefore time for all things fall. I barely had any pumpkin pie spice, so Sam to the rescue with the link to this and I just happened to have a glass spice bottle from cinnamon that was almost empty. Made a triple recipe of this and just turned the stove off from my pumpkin spice syrup. 🙂

        No problem! Allspice is a kind of spice. It's actually a berry that tastes as tho it is almost a combination of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg, hence the name "allspice". You can pick it up here on Amazon. Enjoy!

      Thank you for working out the proportions for one of my favorite spice mixes! It's something I've always planned to do, and you just saved me the trouble! Fall is almost here with all the delicious warming flavors. Can't wait to try it in my old favorite recipes and new ones that you have created!
