This pumpkin pie spice recipe is simple to make and can be mixed up in no time! Make your own pumpkin pie spice, from scratch, and make as little or as much as you need for baking.

If you're looking for recipes to use your pumpkin pie spice, try my Paleo Pumpkin Bars. My Gluten Free Pumpkin Donuts are also a great way to use this gluten free pumpkin spice.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe

I use pumpkin spice in several recipes and I tend to go through it quickly during the fall months when I make homemade pumpkin lattes.

For ease of use, I usually purchase it at the store. One day, when I was right in the middle of making a gluten free pumpkin cheesecake, I ran out.

The oven was preheated and I didn't have time to run to the store. I searched through the spices in my cupboard and discovered that I had all the right ingredients to make my own pumpkin spice.

There are some pumpkin spice blends out there that are made poorly and can be contaminated with wheat, from being processed in the same facility as wheat. You remove that worry when you make your own gluten-free pumpkin spice blend at home.

Pumpkin Spice Recipe

I go through pumpkin spice A LOT, like a lot-lot. From Gluten-Free Pumpkin Donuts, to my Gluten-Free Pumpkin Skillet Cookie (pictured above) we go through it all most as much as we go through chocolate chips.

Pumpkin is a super food, and in my opinion it is one of the most magical squashes. So many incredible savory and sweet dishes can be made with pumpkin, and gluten-free pumpkin spice.

I don't have a ton of pumpkin recipes on my blog, but I do have a good variety. My Pumpkin Paleo Porridge is popular during the winter months, and my Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread in the fall.

Being able to quickly mix up my own spice saved the day and my mini pumpkin cheesecakes.

You can adapt the recipe below to your own palate. If you like it a little spicier, add some additional nutmeg. If you are more of a cinnamon lover, add an extra tablespoon of cinnamon.

What is in pumpkin pie spice?

• Ground Cinnamon
• Ground Ginger
• Ground Nutmeg
• Ground Cloves

You can purchase any of these pumpkin spice ingredients at the store in separate containers or in the bulk section. Just note that the bulk section is like an open market and dirty spoons may have been used to spoon out the spices.

If you are not interested in mixing up your own blend after reading this post, there are lots of great brands out there. I like simply organic and trader joes brand of pumpkin spice. Rodelle has a newer pumpkin spice extract if you like to work with extracts.
