Come fall, when pumpkin spice everything is all the rage, this quick, easy muffin recipe is our favorite go-to.

Made with unsweetened pumpkin puree and flavored with the perfect amount of fragrant spice, these muffins are light, moist, and can be baked in either standard or mini-sized muffin tins.

To give these muffins their flavor, we use pumpkin pie spice, a delicious blend of baking spices that includes cinnamon, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

You can buy this spice blend ready-made, or do what we do and mix up a small batch of your own so its fragrant flavor stays fresh and pungent.

How to make pumpkin pie spice

  • 4 parts ground cinnamon
  • 2 parts ground allspice
  • 1 part ground ginger
  • 1 part ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 part ground cloves

Combine and store in a tightly sealed jar for up to three months.
