Make your own homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice in minutes with just five pantry spices! It's cheaper and more flavorful than store-bought.

This DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice recipe combines 5 simple spices for a bold, fresh, and flavorful pumpkin pie spice that is cheaper than the store-bought one!

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice is fresher and cheaper.

Pumpkin Pie Spice is one of those things you don’t think about until the moment you really need it. The good news is it only takes a few minutes to make, with spices you probably have already. It’s fresher, more flavorful, and so much cheaper than anything from the store. And it will come in handy to use in my favorite Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Roll, or a fun Pumpkin Tiramisu.

How to make Pumpkin Pie Spice:

Combine: Measure out spices in a small bowl and mix together to make homemade pumpkin pie spice. Keep in an airtight spice bottle or airtight container for 3-4 months. This recipe yields 2 Tbsp and can be substituted for pumpkin pie spice in any pumpkin recipe! You can also adjust this recipe to taste and go heavier on any of the spices and less on others.
