Vanilla Sugar

Vanilla Sugar is a flavored sugar commonly used in baking and desserts to add a sweet vanilla aroma to cakes, cookies and beverages. It is essentially sugar with a vanilla or vanillin flavoring and is typically used in small amounts for sweetening or finishing. Nutritionally, Vanilla Sugar supplies mostly simple carbohydrates and contains 95g of sugar per 100g, with virtually no fiber, protein or healthy fats, so it contributes energy but very little else. As a pantry ingredient, it’s best used sparingly — if you want the vanilla character with fewer processed additives, consider using pure vanilla extract or real vanilla bean and reducing total added sugar.
