💡 Tip: Add vanilla to the wet ingredients so it blends evenly. Imitation vanilla works fine in baked goods where the flavour is masked by other ingredients.

Vanilla extract: measured by the spoon
Vanilla extract is a liquid, so it's almost always measured in teaspoons rather than cups — a teaspoon weighs about 4.3 g, and most recipes use 1 to 2 teaspoons. A small 2 fl oz bottle holds about 12 teaspoons. As a flavor guide, 1 tablespoon of extract stands in for one whole vanilla bean.
Vanilla bean paste is an easy 1:1 swap for extract and adds the little black seed specks people love.
