How to make pumpkin pie spice. Making your own spice blend costs less, besides, it’s super easy to make. You only need 5 minutes and 5 spices to create your own pumpkin pie spice.
Every single fall, I see all these amazing pumpkin recipes calling for pumpkin pie spice and I never make them because it’s (almost) impossible to get it here in Spain, but not this year because I’ve made my own pumpkin pie spice using just 5 ingredients, woohoo! For those of you who can’t find allspice, ask for Jamaica pimenta, it’s how I’ve found it at my health store.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so we’ve been trying the spice blend and making some delicious vegan dishes for you guys. The first recipe we made using pumpkin pie spice was our pumpkin donuts, which are insane. We also want to make other recipes like pumpkin pie or pumpkin latte, so stay tuned!
According to Wikipedia, a recipe for this spice blend includes: 18 parts of ground cinnamon, 4 parts of ground nutmeg and ground ginger and 3 parts of ground cloves and allspice (or Jamaica pimenta).
Pumpkin pie spice has many uses beyond pumpkin pie. It can be used in savory or sweet dishes like coffee, tea, pasta, roasted vegetables, popcorn, pancakes, waffles or any dish made with pumpkin or even butternut squash.
These are some of our recipes where you can use pumpkin pie spice: pumpkin pie smoothie, pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes (vegan and gluten-free), vegan pumpkin pie fudge, vegan pumpkin Alfredo and vegan butternut squash natillas (Spanish pudding).

I’m not from the USA so I am wondering what allspice is. I don’t think it is sold in my country.

October 8, 2018 at 18:45Hi Winnie! It’s also known as pimenta, Jamaica pimenta, or myrtle pepper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allspice). I found it at a local health store as allspice isn’t very common in my country either. Hope it helps!
