Pumpkin Spice Mix

Sep 01, 2025
Pumpkin Spice mix

It’s September 1st—which means we’ve officially entered the -ber months, and that can only mean one thing: fall is just around the corner. As the mornings get crisper and the scent of cinnamon starts drifting through the air, there’s no better time to prep your kitchen for all things cozy and spiced. Today I’m sharing my go-to Pumpkin Spice Blend—a simple mix I use in everything from pumpkin bread to my morning coffee. It’s warm, aromatic, and just the thing to carry you into the season with comfort and flavor. Once you make your own, you’ll never reach for the store-bought stuff again. Make sure to use good quality spices. I personally love my Burlap & Barrel Spices.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons (12 g) ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons (12 g) ground ginger
1 tablespoon (6 g) ground cloves
1 tablespoon (7 g) ground turmeric

Instructions
To ensure an even blend, combine all the spices in a spice grinder and pulse a few times. This helps break up any clumps, especially from the ginger, which tends to be a little sticky in mixes. Alternatively, you can sift the spices together and whisk until well combined. Store in an airtight jar at room temperature.

BONUS: If you want to spice up your coffee at home, add 1 1/2 tsp to about 1/3 cup of coffee grounds. Brew your coffee as you normally do. The house will smell amazing and you will have a festive and tasty cup of coffee.
