Homemade Vanilla Bean Sugar
PIN RECIPE PRINT RECIPEVanilla Bean Sugar is a delightful way to infuse a subtle flavor of vanilla into your baking without changing the texture. It's the combination of granulated sugar and vanilla bean, which you can easily make yourself at home, then use instead of regular granulated sugar in recipes.
Ingredients
- 2 Vanilla beans, grade B, Madagascar or Tahitian
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
Instructions
- Add sugar to your blender or food processor.
- On a cutting board, lay out your vanilla beans. With a paring knife, slice down the middle of the pod, cutting lengthwise. Using the flat end of the knife, carefully scrape out the the black seeds.
- Add the seeds to the blender. Pulse until the vanilla is well incorporated and the black seeds are throughout--with no chunks.
- Pour the sugar into your jars or other airtight container, and place the empty vanilla pods inside. For best flavor, let it sit 2 weeks before using.

Notes
TIP: If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mix by hand, using a whisk and wooden spoon. It likely won't have as much flavor as it would if it was pulsed together, but it's possible.
**About 2.5 cups fits in a pint-sized mason jar.
**You can use more or fewer vanilla beans per cup of sugar based on your preference.
