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 Vanilla Bean Paste Ingredients

Vanilla extract is thinner and alcohol-based, with no seeds and a lighter weight (220 g vs 310 g per cup). Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon when you do not need the speckled finish; expect a slightly less intense vanilla note. See vanilla extract in cups.

Vanilla essence is synthetic, alcohol-free, and much milder than paste, with no seeds. Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon as a budget stand-in; expect a single-note flavour and no visible flecks. See vanilla essence in cups.
