Pumpkin Pie Spice (Easy Mix for Baking!)

If you love the convenience of a spice mix, this Pumpkin Pie Spice is one that you need to have on hand during the holiday season. It’s perfect for making a pumpkin spice latte or pumpkin pie, without having to separately measure several jars of spices each time you’re ready to bake.

What is Pumpkin Pie Spice Made of?

Pumpkin Pie Spice mixes can vary slightly, but the typical spices include:

• Cinnamon
• Ginger
• Nutmeg
• Cloves
• Allspice

I noticed that the back of my spice jar from Trader Joe’s uses lemon peel and cardamom instead of allspice, and other brands leave out allspice all together, so feel free to experiment with what you like best. The first 4 ingredients are non-negotiable, if you ask me, though.

What Can You Use Instead of Pumpkin Pie Spice?

If you don’t have a jar of Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand, and you only need a small amount of pumpkin pie spice for a single recipe, here’s a quick substitution for you.

To replace 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice, use:

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground  nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon cloves
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice

This is roughly what you need to make my Vegan Pumpkin Pie. The printable recipe below makes over 6 tablespoons of pumpkin spice mix, which should fill up an empty glass spice jar.

How to Use Pumpkin Pie Spice

Other than making pumpkin pie, you can use pumpkin pie spice to add a little extra “zip” of spice to any of your favorite Fall recipes that already call for cinnamon.

You can use it in:

• Roasted Squash Seeds
• Paleo Pumpkin Spice Muffins
• Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
• Healthy Pumpkin Muffins
• No-Bake Pumpkin Tarts
• Pumpkin Spice Latte
• Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

I hope this easy spice mix will help you the next time you need it!
