At the heart of all great fall recipe collections is a wonderful selection of Pumpkin Recipes. Here at Simple Joy, we have been loving on that gourd for years. What we’ve been missing though is a super simple Pumpkin Spice recipe! That all changes today! This Pumpkin Pie Spice is made with four simple ingredients. We love it exactly as written and we love that you can make a smaller version very simply to use in all of your favorite pumpkin desserts. But one of our favorite things about all homemade spice mixes is that they are easy to tweak to your preference, and that holds true here.
Ground CinnamonGround GingerGround NutmegGround Cloves
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon1 tablespoon ground ginger1/2 tablespoon ground nutmeg3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
This recipe will make a little over 8 teaspoons. This is a great amount for typically four fall desserts. You can see the ratio is 4:4:2:1. So you can really adjust this to any amount you’d like.
In my Pumpkin Fudge use 1 1/2 teaspoons of this mixture.For our Pumpkin Bread recipe, use 2 teaspoons of this mixture.In these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies use 2 teaspoons of this mixture.
Some of these recipes don’t call for all four of these spices, that is okay! You can still use this swap. Remember that this doesn’t replace the salt that is called for in baking recipes. If you make this pumpkin spice or any of my other recipes, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
