WHY MAKE YOUR OWN PUMPKIN PIE SPICE?

Yes…it’s easier buying already made store-bought pumpkin pie spice but take it from experience…

  • Your own homemade version is far better than store-bought.
  • One small jar of the store-bought stuff might last 3 pumpkin recipes, 5 pumpkin pie protein shakes, or 10 slices of pumpkin pie cinnamon toasts…depends on who’s at home, LOL.
  • Buying the individual spices and whipping up your own homemade pumpkin pie spice saves money.
  • Having more fall spices on hand might encourage some fun experimenting with this cozy combination. Try it on baked chicken and in Butternut Squash Soup; it is delish in both!
  • Making your own is so much fresher and better than store-bought.. I can tell a huge difference when I use it and when I don’t. Fresh, homemade spice combinations tastes sweeter and cleaner to me…not flat and old.

The ingredients needed for this must-have fall flavor spice are pretty straight forward and very easily found in your grocery store. Order online in bulk at the beginning of the eating season and you’ll save multiple trips to the store throughout the holidays.

INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS

Cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg are the main ingredients that can’t be substituted. But you can replace Allspice with cloves and cardamom.

You can also add a little chili powder and a tiny bit of sugar for allspice and/or cloves and cardamom. If you notice most pumpkin pie spice recipes include cloves. Some people…like a certain person in my family…are not clove fans.

The great thing about making your own spice blend is you can custom make it…Do You Cooking!!!
