Easy Allspice Substitute Recipe

Recipe by Rose Atwater

This easy Allspice Substitute has a flavor and aroma so close to real allspice that most people can’t tell the difference. In fact, this blend is often what’s sold in stores as “allspice.” It’s a favorite for bakers because it’s simple, affordable, and made with spices you likely already have in your pantry – no need to make an emergency trip to the store!

  • Total Time2 minutes
  • Yield3 Tablespoons 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Cloves

Instructions

  1. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to a small bowl.
  2. Stir or mix until fully combined.
  3. Store in an airtight container or spice jar for up to 2 months.

Notes

  •  I do not recommend freezing this as the excess moisture will ruin it.
  •  Store any unused spice in a cool, dry place. I like to use moisture absorbing packets in airtight container (like spice jars with lids) to store my freshly ground spices as it keeps them fresh longer.
  •  The quality of your spices makes all the difference when it comes to the taste and potency outcome. I got my cinnamon from Costco and got my other spices from The Spice Way on Amazon.
  •  Use this with any recipe that calls for allspice. You do not need to change the amount your recipe calls for.
  •  If you have whole spices on hand (whole cloves or cinnamon sticks), you can use a spice grinder or dedicated coffee grinder to make your own ground spices.
  •  Don’t want to have to store leftovers? Only need a teaspoon of allspice? Cut down the recipe to a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a teaspoon of ground nutmeg and a teaspoon of ground cloves – then you end up with just 1 Tablespoon of this excellent substitute and you won’t have to feel guilty about waste or tossing the leftovers.
