Substitutes
Ekstrak vanila — 1:1. Vanilla extract provides the same vanilla flavor but without the visible bean specks. The flavor intensity is nearly identical, making this the most straightforward swap.
Ekstrak almond — 1:1 (use slightly less if the almond flavor would overpower). Almond extract offers a different but equally intense aromatic profile. Works well in frostings, cakes, dan custards where both vanilla dan almond flavors are welcome. Reduce hingga 3/4 sdt if the recipe is delicate — almond extract can be slightly more potent.
Sirup maple — 1 sdm maple syrup per 1 sdm paste (reduce other sweetener). Maple syrup adds a warm, caramel sweetness that complements recipes calling for vanilla. The flavor is distinctly different but pleasant in baked goods.
