Pumpkin pie spice

Ugh!

You know how it feels when you are baking and you thought you had all the ingredients but then, bam, you are lacking one item in the middle of your recipe. So what do you do?

Well today, I was about to make pumpkin bread for a banana-split party at my husband's school when I ran out of pumpkin pie spice. So I searched the web, gathered several different mixtures and came up with my own mix. I knew I had all the ingredients in my pantry so I mixed it up. I love the flavor of cardamom so I added it which is a little different than any other mix I have researched.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
2 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp nutmeg
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cardamom

Mix together. Store in a airtight container in a dark, dry area. 

Enjoy!
