Stop Overpaying For Your Spice Mixes!

A few weeks ago, I saw a tiny jar of pumpkin pie spice at the store for five dollars and immediately thought, okay, I need to share how I make this at home! I’ve been mixing up my own pumpkin pie spice for years, and it’s so straightforward, so much fresher, and made with spices I already have in my pantry.

I make a fresh batch at the beginning of fall and keep it stocked all season long. It’s the first thing I reach for when I’m baking pumpkin muffins, flipping pumpkin pancakes, or making a classic pumpkin pie. If you love making your own spice blends, try my apple pie spice next!
