These 5 simple Homemade Baking Spice Blends are essential pantry staples when it comes to fall baking. Each with their own distinctive flavour profile, they all add a warm sweet, spicy flavour to your baked goods and they could not be easier to make. Just toss the spices together in a bowl, stir until well combined, then transfer to an airtight container (these mini IKEA jars are my favourite) and store at room temperature for up to 6 months. Why buy them when they’re so easy to make at home?
