Vanilla Bean Paste Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert vanilla bean paste from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Vanilla bean paste is a thick, syrupy vanilla flavouring made from vanilla extract, sugar, and the scraped seeds of the vanilla pod. One metric cup (250 ml) of vanilla bean paste weighs about 310 grams or 10.93 ounces, denser than vanilla extract thanks to the sugar and seed base. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs around 6.2 grams.
Recipes list vanilla bean paste in teaspoons, but bottles label volume in millilitres or fluid ounces. This page converts between teaspoons, grams, millilitres, and cups so you can hit the right amount whatever measure you have on hand.

Related to Vanilla Bean Paste
Vanilla Extract
Extract is thinner (220 g vs 310 g per cup) with no seeds and a slightly lighter flavour. Works in batters and glazes where the speckle does not matter; reach for paste in ice cream or panna cotta when you want visible flecks. See our Vanilla Extract converter.
Vanilla Essence
Essence is synthetic and much milder than paste, with no seeds. Use as a budget stand-in; expect a single-note flavour and a less luxurious finish. See our Vanilla Essence converter.
