Official pumpkin spice season might be limited to October, which is a shame because pumpkin spice can be enjoyed all year long. With these pumpkin spice recipes, you can enjoy the warming spices of fall whenever you need a little bit of comfort and coziness.

Make your own Pumpkin Spice

While you can certainly buy pumpkin spice mix at the grocery store, those little jars of spice blends can be quite pricey. Also, you probably have the individual spices for homemade pumpkin pie spice blend in your spice cabinet right now. All it takes is cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice to make your own homemade pumpkin spice blend.

Homemade Pumpkin Puree

While pumpkin spice recipes don’t always include actual pumpkin, for instance pumpkin spice lattes, they can. You can use store-bought pumpkin puree or you can easily make your own homemade pumpkin puree from fresh pumpkin for a frugal and tasty alternative.

If you use store bought pumpkin puree, be sure to get plain puree and to pumpkin pie filling.

Muffins & Bread

Easy and delicious these pumpkin spice muffin and bread recipes are great for breakfast, packed lunches, afternoon tea, and more.
