We always make our own pumpkin spice blend here at the Hunger for Spice home because store bought brands can be ridiculously expensive and there’s no need to spend a fortune when you have all of the ingredients you need right at your fingertips.

When the autumn season rolls around, admittedly we go through a lot of this aromatic blend of spices. Having a half-pint ready to make, cookies, cakes, pies, cheesecakes, pastries, and more is a MUST!

You can use pumpkin spice blend to flavor a variety of baked goods, such as our pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin scones, and pumpkin spice morning buns.

What you will need:

What is Mace

Mace may not be a spice that everyone has on hand. If you don’t have it stocked on your shelves, it is perfectly okay to omit it and still end up with a delicious pumpkin spice blend.

Mace a is a made from the web-like outer membrane of the nutmeg. It is a warm pungent spice with floral and citrus notes.

Nutmeg is found inside of the ripe fruit of the tropical evergreen tree known as Myristica fragrans.
