What is imitation banana extract made from?

McCormick Imitation Banana Extract is made with artificial flavoring that mimics the sweet, fruity flavor of real bananas - the kind of bold banana taste you'd find in banana-flavored candy or desserts. It contains no actual banana fruit.

How much banana extract should I use?

A little goes a long way! Start with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in batters, frostings, puddings, or smoothies. Adjust to taste depending on how strong you want the banana flavor.

Is it safe for people with banana allergies?

Yes - since it's imitation flavoring, it does not contain real banana. However, always check the label or consult your doctor if you have severe allergies.

Can I use banana extract in place of real bananas in baking?

Banana extract adds flavor but doesn't provide moisture or structure like mashed bananas do. Use it to enhance banana flavor in recipes that already include bananas, or when you want banana taste without adding fruit.

What kinds of recipes work best with banana extract?

It's perfect for banana cream pie, milkshakes, smoothies, cupcakes, banana bread, and even fun retro recipes like banana pudding or homemade candy.

Does McCormick's banana extract contain alcohol?

Yes, it typically contains alcohol as a base for the flavoring, similar to other extracts. It's safe for baking, as the alcohol evaporates during cooking.
