Pumpkin-Spice Up Your Fall With This Recipe

How To Make Pumpkin Spice by Yourself

Fall can be everything. It can be cold weather, dirt, rainy weather, gray sky, but it also can be golden leaves, Halloween, pumpkins, and a cozy home smelling like you want to stay there forever. And everyone can tell you that the pumpkin spice smell plays a big part in this “cozy fall mood”. Whether it’s a must in your fall kitchen, or you’ve never tasted it, I can guarantee that you will pumpkin-spice your fall with this recipe.

Why bother with preparing it by yourself when you can just go and buy it at the grocery store or simply order it online? But what if you run out of it, or you can’t buy it at your location? What if you want to adjust the taste slightly? Or maybe you are so obsessed with it such that you want to make a whole bunch of it?!

I have you covered! You can use this pumpkin spice recipe and mix your own spice to your needs.


Here is the list of ingredients you’ll need:

  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Dried Ground Ginger
  • Ground Nutmeg
  • Ground Clove
  • Ground Allspice
  • Optionally, you will also need ground pepper and cardamom.

  • 1.5 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp ginger (dried)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp ground clove
  • 1 pinch of ground allspice
