Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend

If there's one thing I've learned while on my recipe journey, it's that you can make (from scratch) just about any ingredient you'll need for recipes! I never thought to make my own spice mixtures until chatting with so many experienced home cooks on various cooking websites! Why spend $7 for a bottle of a spice mixture if you have the individual spices already in your kitchen cabinet? You just need to find out what spices are in the blend you need and mix up a batch for the recipe you'll be using. Google is great for that info! That's where I researched what I would need to make this pumpkin pie spice blend.
This pumpkin spice blend recipe will work in any recipe that requires 'Pumpkin Pie Spice' as an ingredient. I've used this blend in not only pumpkin pies but also in cookies, muffins, coffee, smoothies, latte's and even dips! Yum...pumpkin pie dip is heavenly! I'll be posting that recipe within the next few days!

You can even quadruple this recipe if you want to make and store this spice in your cabinet for future use.
