Don’t waste your money buying Pumpkin Pie Spice! You have all of the ingredients in your pantry! It takes less than 5 minutes!
It seems like since mid August, or earlier, I have been seeing Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pumpkin Spiced Cookies, Cakes, shakeology, (whatever that is), and whatever else people can think of! I’m sorry, I do not want to hear about pumpkins until the weather turns cooler and crisp! That’s the time to search out the perfect pumpkin- not when it is 95°F with a dew point over 70. I just can’t do it! Now, is the time for pumpkin spiced everything you can think of!
If you have searched for Pumpkin Pie Spice on the spice aisle at your local grocer, you know that it is not cheap! The spice islands one I looked at the other day was 7 dollars for 2 oz! That is $56 per pound!!
Don’t do it! Chances are that you have all of the spices you need at home. The only one you may not have is Allspice, and you can easily just eliminate that!

Lauren Vavala - DeliciousLittleBites
This is a great recipe to keep on hand. I always have all of these ingredients but always buy the pre-made spice. Gonna try this when it runs out!
Binky
Oh, yes, it’s such a waste of money! I hope you enjoy! Thank you Lauren!

I do make my own pumpkin pie spice — for exactly the reasons you pointed out — it’s ridiculously expensive and I already have everything I need to make it at home. Great minds think alike, Beth!
Binky
Haha! I suppose that’s true! Thanks so much for your comment, Lisa!
Stephanie
I don’t normally like to buy spice blends so this recipe I definitely need to try. I have almost all of those spices now so I think I’m going try this soon.
Binky
Thanks, Stephanie! I hope you enjoy it! I will have some recipes on BCC soon where you can use this spice!

Binky
It’s such a great Fall spice, isn’t it, Syama? Thanks for your comment!
Ramona
I soo agree with making/blending/mixing own spices – nothing gets better than that! A wonderful mix here – genious idea lady!
Binky
Thanks so much, Ramona! It is a comforting fall spice, I think!
Amanda
Looks great! Perfect for pumpkin season.
Binky
Yes, my favorite time of year! I love all the comforting smells in the kitchen in the fall!
Tristin Rieken
Thanks for the great spice mix recipe, it’s always good to have diy versions on hand and this one is perfect.
Binky
Thanks so much Tristin! It is great to have alternatives to driving to store to pick some up, when you have everything you need in the house!
Caroline
I completely agree, it really isn’t worth buying ready blended as it is expensive, and you end up with a large amount sitting around the rest of the year. Plus I always have the components anyway. Looks like a great blend.
Binky
Thank you Caroline! My spice cabinet is so full, I could barely fit another thing in it!
