If you love the convenience of a spice mix, you’ll love having this Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand during the holiday season. It’s made with a handful of pantry spices you probably already have, like ground cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.

You can use this in my healthy pumpkin bars, paleo pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin spice latte.

What is Pumpkin Pie Spice Made of?

Pumpkin Pie Spice mixes can vary slightly, but the typical spices include ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.

I noticed the back of my Trader Joe’s spice jar uses lemon peel and cardamom instead of allspice, and other brands leave out allspice altogether, so feel free to experiment with what you like best.

The first 4 ingredients are non-negotiable, if you ask me, though.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice (for a single Recipe)

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

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.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 ½ tablespoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  • Combine all of the spices in a small bowl and stir well to mix. (I like to use a whisk to break up any clumps.)
  • Transfer to a dry empty jar and secure the lid to store. Use it in any recipe that calls for pumpkin pie spice.
    • Storage Tip: Dry ground spices should last for up to 2 years when stored correctly, but make sure you check the expiration date on your individual jars.

  2. Thank you for sharing the ratios you use! I just made the smaller batch you mentioned in the post and it worked perfectly in my pumpkin spice latte. I’ll make the bigger batch next time so that it’s ready in my pantry.
