Do you need pumpkin pie spice mix for a favorite recipe this Fall? There’s no need to run to the store and buy it, when it’s SO EASY to make your own!
Have you ever been plowing through a recipe, making something you can hardly wait to try, and realize you are missing one of the main ingredients?
That was the case for me, recently. I was making pumpkin muffins, and must have glanced at the ingredient list too quickly. Halfway through making the recipe, I realized I was needing pumpkin pie spice mix, but I was out!
Uh Oh. I was in trouble. You NEED pumpkin pie spices for PUMPKIN muffins! Years ago I had made my own mix from scratch but couldn’t find my recipe anywhere. OH NO! What to do, what to do?

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention
I didn’t have any of this mix available, but didn’t want to run to the store and buy some, so I ended up making homemade pumpkin pie spice mix! Thankfully I remembered seeing a “recipe” for it on Pinterest recently.
Long story short- I found the ingredient list (thanks to Trish at “Mom On Timeout”), whipped up my own homemade seasoning mix in under 5 minutes, and finished making some really delicious muffins! Yee Haw!
How To Make Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
Today I thought I’d share the “how to’s”, in case you ever need this spice mixture and can’t get to the store! It is super easy and unbelievably quick to make.
The ingredients for pumpkin pie spice mix are simple. This unique seasoning mix consist of 5 spices, which are cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, cloves, and allspice.
Place the spices into a small bowl, and whisk them all together, until they have been fully combined. EASY PEASY!
Storing This Seasoning Mix
Once you have the pumpkin pie spice mix combined, transfer it into an airtight, covered container for convenient storage. You can easily double or triple the amount if desired.
I use a pint-sized canning jar, and the spice mix fills up about half the jar. The plastic apples, leaves and pumpkins are just there to make plain ol’ pumpkin pie spice mix look PURTY! Ha Ha!
See? Shown below are the pumpkin chocolate chip muffins I used my homemade pumpkin pie spice mix to make! You can also use it for many other recipes throughout the year!
These muffins have a perfect pumpkin spice flavor, thanks to my handy dandy homemade spice mix!! Crisis averted! Whew!
Uses For Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
You can expect the pumpkin pie spice mix to keep its maximum flavor and effectiveness for about 6 months (or more, if you’re lucky). This is if you store it in an airtight container!
You can use pumpkin pie spice mix for muffins, pie, pumpkin bread, coffeecakes, or other pumpkin themed recipes. It’s really handy to have around, especially during the holidays!
I hope you will try this recipe and see for yourself how simple it is to make this spice mix for yourself, in under 5 minutes! Homemade spice mixes can save you lots of money in the long run, by making them from scratch!
