So i'm wanting to make breakfast, and i'm looking at this recipe, and one of the ingredients is vanilla egg, and i'm confused as to what that is. i looked it up online, and all it comes up with is "vanilla egg cream" but the recipe doesn't call for any type of cream. i even called my mom at work and asked her and she didnt know. :( is regular vanilla the same? if anyone knows, please help :)

Do you mind posting the context for it? It could be a typo or something, perhaps intended to be two separate items, vanilla, and egg.

What are you cooking?

no. it says 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla egg. and i'm baking a coffee cake.

It has to be a typo. I don't believe there is such an ingredient called 'vanilla egg'. Try looking up another recipe for coffee cake? Maybe the vanilla and egg is separate, but it was a typo and got combined in your recipe?

Yeah, there's not "vanilla egg." Like said it's probably two different ingredients that just got screwed up and typed together.

well its in a cookbook, so i dunno :/ and i cant find the same recipe online. ohh well. i guess i'll just use the online one. i got this new cookbook and i cant even use it :( meeeh.

Vanilla extract is what it stands for... so yes it's the same thing it just menas the Vanilla in the bottle not an egg of Vanilla

so it is the same thing as vanilla extract? thank you! ^^

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla egg

...

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (1) egg

yup 100% exact same thing :) Good luck cooking
