What is in Pumpkin Pie Spice
A small handful of spice rack staples are mixed together to create the best tasting pumpkin spice seasoning! Pumpkin pie just wouldn’t be the same without it.
- Cinnamon: This is the star of the show!
- Allspice: When you smell allspice, you’ll notice that it probably reminds you of pumpkin pie. It’s a key ingredient!
- Nutmeg: This warm, nutty spice adds a very nice depth to the spice blend.
- Ginger: This spice is slightly sweet and peppery. It helps to create that signature pumpkin spice aroma and flavor.
- Mace: Mace and nutmeg may come from the same tree, but they are different spices. Both should be used to create the best flavor.
- Cloves: This spice is very strong, so measure with care. You don’t want the cloves to overpower the other spices.
PRO TIP: Cinnamon is a must here, but if you’re missing one of the other spices, that’s okay! You’ll still get a great tasting mix.
Does pumpkin spice contain pumpkin?
No, this is simply a spice blend that is often used to add flavor to pumpkin recipes. Which is why people often think of this as “pumpkin flavor.” Plain pumpkin actually tastes quite mild.

How to Store
Stored in an airtight container or jar, in a dark cool place (like a pantry or spice cabinet), it will keep about 6 months. After that, the spices will lose their potency.
