Pumpkin Spice Mix is an aromatic blend of ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves, ideal for autumn bakes, lattes and desserts. The Thermomix TM7 grinds and blends the spices into a uniform powder with far more fragrance than shop-bought blends. Ready in seconds, it keeps for months in an airtight jar.
About this recipe
Pumpkin Spice Mix Thermomix TM7 is the aromatic recipe that defines autumn baking, blending cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves into one warm, fragrant powder. Searching for spice blend recipes or an all-in-one kitchen machine that grinds finer than any mortar and pestle? The TM7 handles it beautifully. Because the grinding function pulverises coarse spices into a silky, uniform consistency, every spoonful releases maximum aroma, whether stirred into pumpkin pie filling, whipped into a latte or dusted over pancakes. This blend is the secret behind cosy weekend breakfasts, Halloween treats and festive desserts, and it takes literally seconds to make. Shop-bought versions sit on shelves for months and lose their punch; grinding your own nutmeg and cloves fresh means noticeably deeper flavour in every bake. Stored in an airtight jar, this mix keeps well, making it a perfect autumn preparation to have on hand for impromptu baking sessions.
Preparation tips
- For the freshest flavour, start with whole nutmeg and whole cloves rather than pre-ground versions: the TM7 grinding function turns them into a super-fine powder, releasing far more aroma than store-bought pumpkin spice mix.
- Store the blend in a small airtight glass jar away from light and heat; label it with the date, as cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg slowly lose their punch after a few months on the shelf.
- Adjust the ratio to your taste: extra ginger gives warmth for lattes and pancakes, while more nutmeg and cloves suits pumpkin pie filling. Start with a small test batch before scaling up.
Recipe variations
- A warmer, festive variation adds a pinch of ground cardamom and allspice to the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves base, perfect for Christmas bakes, speculaos biscuits and mulled drinks.
- A kid-friendly, milder version reduces the cloves and nutmeg and increases the cinnamon, creating a gentler blend that suits pancakes, milk shakes and porridge without overwhelming young palates.
