Pumpkin Spice Recipe
I can’t believe it’s that time again. You know……the first week of September when Pumpkin Spice anything (and everything) is everywhere. Coffee at your favorite local coffee shop. Pancakes and french toast at your favorite brunch spot. And pumpkin spice in the spice isles of your favorite grocery store. It’s everywhere!
But who doesn’t love the smell of the cinnamon and nutmeg aroma that we all love this time of year? I know I do. I love baking Sweet Potato Bread with a great pumpkin spice blend.
Last year I decided to make the spice blend myself at home. I love knowing the spices I use are fresh (I normally shop at my local spice store for the freshest ingredients) and I can make it the way I like it. You want more cinnamon, go for it. Do you just love nutmeg, add more. I added a little smoked black pepper to my blend for a hint of heat…but that’s the way I like it. Make as much as you like; you can double (or triple) the recipe if needed.
