Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

I love making my own pantry staples.

From homemade vanilla, ranch dressing mix, and this taco seasoning mix, these staples just take minutes to put together.

I love that by simply combining a few individual spices, you can make your own spice blends.

We often buy our spices in bulk from Azure Standard.

Bags of common spices are great to keep on hand when you want to put together your own homemade spice blends.

This is great for convenience, such as times when you can’t make it to the grocery store.

No time to go to the store? No problem, you can always make your own with spices you already have!

Also, I love knowing that my spices are fresher (always try to use them before the expiration date for better results).

Whenever the fall season rolls around, we always use so much pumpkin spice.

Pumpkin season is the time of year when we make all the pumpkin desserts.

Pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bars, and pumpkin ice cream!

A few times I’ve pulled out all my fall baking ingredients and then realized I was out of pumpkin pie spice.

Thankfully, I learned that it’s easy to make your own pumpkin pie spice substitute.

• A small jar of this simple spice mix would be adorable in a fall gift basket!

What Can I Use If I Don’t Have Pumpkin Pie Spice?

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

You can rearrange some of these different spices depending on what you have, and as long as the cinnamon is there it should be good!
