Eosinophilic Esophagitis Friendly Vanilla Sugar
Homemade vanilla sugar is one of those small-batch pantry staples that quietly transforms everything it touches — from morning oatmeal to baked goods to a simple cup of tea. It's made with just two ingredients, which is exactly the kind of simplicity that matters when you're navigating a long list of foods to avoid. Store-bought flavored sugars and vanilla blends can hide additives, natural flavors, or other ingredients that make label-reading a stressful chore, but this version puts you fully in control. The process is beautifully low-effort: split a vanilla bean, tuck it into a jar of granulated sugar, and let time do the work. After about a week of daily shaking, the sugar becomes deeply fragrant and infused with real vanilla flavor from both the seeds and the pod. Use it anywhere you'd reach for regular sugar and enjoy a subtle, aromatic upgrade with zero guesswork about what's inside.
