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!

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