Chef’s Secret

Add flavorings after baking for maximum impact in frostings or glazes, or during the cooling stage for baked goods to prevent flavor evaporation.

Substitutions

Best Match

Vanilla Extract + Butter Extract

1:1 + 1:1 (adjust to taste)

Closest flavor match, allows customization of intensity.

Vanilla Extract

1:1

Provides the vanilla notes, but misses the "butternut" richness.

Butterscotch Flavoring

1:1 (adjust to taste)

Offers a rich, buttery, and slightly caramelized note as an alternative.

Almond Extract

1:2 (half the amount)

Adds a nutty depth, but will change the overall flavor profile significantly.

Buying Guide
