What Can I Use To Substitute Vanilla Extract?
You can substitute vanilla extract with other extracts such as almond extract, maple extract, or mint extract in equal amounts. You can also use vanilla bean paste or scraped vanilla beans in place of extract, using one tablespoon of paste or one whole vanilla bean in place of one teaspoon of extract. Additionally, you can use a small amount of cognac, brandy, or rum to add a similar flavor.
