Description
Pumpkin pie spice is a delicious blend of warm spices that is perfect for adding cozy flavor to fall and winter baked goods. My blend includes ground cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg for a well-rounded flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Combine all of the spices together in a small bowl. Mix well, then transfer the spice blend to an airtight container and store away from direct sunlight.
- Make sure to use within 6-12 months.
Notes
If you want the freshest tasting blend, you can grind whole spices then measure them out. You can do this in a coffee grinder (make sure to clean it first!) or spice grinder.
My favorite way to use the blend is in my oatmeal (1/4 tsp per serving), coffee (I add about 1/2 teaspoon to the grounds in my French press), pumpkin bread, and pumpkin pie.
This makes a smaller batch because I like it to be as fresh as possible when I use it. You can absolutely multiply the recipe by 2, 3, or 4 times to yield a much larger batch!
The recipe yields 3 tablespoons total, or the equivalent of 9 teaspoon-sized servings.
