DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice
All right, sadly the summer is going to come to an end and the leaves will start to change colour. The weather will become cooler, and the air will be nice and crisp.
When it’s still kind of hot Starbucks rolls around with a pumpkin spice Frappuccino, but on the colder September and October days, we gotta have that pumpkin spice latte!
I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you! I’ve been so pleased with this homemade pumpkin spice that I definitely don’t use it only when it’s pumpkin season! I use it in the summer and winter, from pancakes to oatmeal to desserts! Really, it’s so versatile and I find it tastes great! I like to occasionally replace cinnamon with pumpkin spice to further enhance flavours!
Why Make Pumpkin Pie Spice
Sometimes we want to enjoy the luxury of pumpkin spice-themed goods at home though! Of course you can purchase pumpkin spice, but I like to make my own blend!
Here’s why you should follow this recipe to make your own pumpkin pie spice!
Save money! The small bottles you’ll get at the grocery store are quite pricey! Making your own will slash the ultimate cost in half!
Easy! It’s so easy to make your own spice blend! Just gather all the spices you need, mix, and store! Woo!
Convenient! If you run out, no need to go out to the store to get more. Just make another batch! The good news is that you can make very large batches, so you won’t run out very often! Well, unless you’re like me, then even the huge batches don’t last long! Oh well, the fresher the tastier, so I don’t mind!
Empty the spices! As I said, the fresher the better. Unfortunately, spices don’t last forever, so if you have some that you use less frequently, this is a great way to use them so that they don’t spoil.
Share with friends and family! Homemade gifts always come from the heart, and they’re well appreciated by everyone! You could give a few jars to your friends and family for any occasion!

We’re loading this ooey, gooey cast iron cookie with some protein powder to make it more satisfying and filling, giving you your protein boost in the evening!

We’re healthifying the classic joy of licking raw cookie dough when we’re baking cookies by using pumpkin puree and protein powder in our cookie dough.

Again, I didn’t put it in here, but you could definitely see how this edible healthy cookie dough turns out with a small dash of pumpkin spice in the batter. Yummy!
