Ingredients For This Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe

You will need only 5 ingredients that you probably have already in your kitchen (especially if it’s fall season). Here is everything you will need:

Pumpkin Pie Spice Ingredients
  • Cinnamon – is one of my favorite spices for a fall dessert. It gives a sweet and slightly spicy flavor.
  • Ginger – gives a sweet and peppery flavor specific to fall desserts.
  • Nutmeg – enhances the flavor profile with its sweet and nutty flavor.
  • Ground Allspice – this ingredient is optional. If you don’t like the flavor, you can replace it with the same amount of cinnamon.
  • Ground Cloves – this ingredient is one of those that bring all the fall flavors to dessert recipes.

How To Make This Pumpkin Pie Spice

I think that this is one of the easiest recipes that you can ever try. Here is everything you need to do:

  1. Start by measuring all the ingredients.
  2. Then use a blender to turn them into a fine powder. 
  3. Add them to a mixing bowl, and mix all the spices until everything is well combined.
  4. Store the pumpkin pie spice mix in an airtight container.

How To Use This Pumpkin Pie Spice

I always like to prepare a double or even triple batch of this spice recipe and use it anytime I make a fall dessert. I love this recipe because it saves money and can be used in many ways. Here are some recipes that will taste great with this pumpkin pie spice:

How To Store Pumpkin Spice

Store your pumpkin pie spice in a glass jar in a cold and dry place on the counter for up to one week.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Vs Allspice

Pumpkin pie spice and allspice are totally different things and can not be substituted with each other since ground allspice is an ingredient used to create a pumpkin pie spice recipe.

Pumpkin Pie Spice vs Apple Pie Spice

While apple pie spice and pumpkin spice have a similar spice profile, there is a slight difference. Apple pie spice is made using cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and sometimes cardamom. Pumpkin spice doesn’t include cardamom, and apple spice has no cloves.

Can I Substitute Pumpkin Pie Spice?

Sure, if you don’t have any pumpkin pie spice at home, you can replace it with a mix of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, or nutmeg.

Is Pumpkin Pie Spice Keto-Friendly?

If we are talking about those spice mixes from stores that contain added sugar, they are not good for keto because they have a high amount of carbs.

But fortunately, you can make your mix of spices at home using only naturally low-carb ingredients.
