Best Natural Extracts of 2025

"I found this extract to have a very strong flavor, and I only needed 1 teaspoon for my entire batch of sugar cookies. It’s subtle at first but really shines in the backend and aroma of the cookies. I appreciated that it didn’t taste artificial like typical banana candy. I wish there was just a little more, but overall, it’s a great product that I would recommend for adding banana flavor to cookies, small cakes, or muffins."

"After trying to make maple pecan cookies without this extract using just syrup, I realized the flavor was lacking. When I made them again with this extract, it provided the perfect amount of maple flavoring!"

"I bought the butter extract to enhance my cookie baking. I prefer using oil for a more consistent bake, but the hint of butter flavor really makes a difference. A little bit goes a long way, and I found it at a great price on Amazon!"

"I've used this vanilla before, and it's wonderful! I ordered 11 for my Christmas party, and I'm so excited to share it with my friends. The price is amazing, and getting an extra one was just the icing on the cake!"

"In our home, we bake almost daily, and this Mexican vanilla is delicious! It evokes such happy memories of baking with family. I was thrilled to find this online at such an amazing price!"

"This vanilla is the perfect flavor for my son's coffee. I've tried various brands, but nothing has worked as well as this. It's a mix of real vanilla and vanillin, with a lower alcohol content, which makes it great for brewing!"

"I was pleasantly surprised! I didn't even know chocolate extract existed. I mix it with diluted heavy whipping cream and it tastes amazing. Just a little is enough to enhance the flavor."

"Honestly, this feels more like a chocolate syrup than an extract because it's so diluted. I had to use a lot to get any flavor in my candy, which made it soft instead of crunchy. It's drinkable, though—like a sweet chocolate martini!"

"I bought this hoping for a strong chocolate scent, but it doesn't quite deliver. It smells chocolate-y, but more like cocoa powder mixed with sugar. It's not terrible, just not what I expected."

"Initially, I was unsure about this product, but I found it much better than my go-to brand of 40 years. I bake often, and I love the wonderful smell it adds, enhancing anything with brown sugar. I've adjusted my butter intake for health reasons, so I've created a spread using it, which has been a fantastic substitute!"

"I recently tried Frontier Co-op's Strawberry Flavor in my smoothies, and it was a delightful addition. The taste was excellent, though I did find the bottle a bit small, so I recommend using it sparingly. Excited to explore their other flavors, even if the price is a bit steep!"

"After ordering the new maple flavor, I was a bit disappointed. The previous version I loved had a stronger flavor and was more liquid. This new one feels like I'm paying for glycerin instead of pure flavor. The added sweeteners weren't necessary for me, and I found the flavor to be quite weak."

"I wanted these flavors to enhance my coffee. Irish Cream is my favorite—exactly what I hoped for! Butter Pecan is also delicious, while Caramel is just okay, needing more cream. Butterscotch is tasty, but I require more to really taste it. Unfortunately, Hazelnut was the worst; it didn't resemble hazelnut at all, and I had to pour it out. I'm excited to try fruity flavors for smoothies and teas soon!"

"I've been ordering these for years. My dad loves the Anise flavor in his SodaStream sparkling water. I finally tried Irish Cream and Anise, both of which I loved. The Root Beer was decent, but don't expect full soda flavor—it's just a hint. A few drops are enough for great flavor!"

"All the flavors I ordered were pleasant to absolutely delicious! Passion was the strongest and had an excellent fruity taste. Peach was good, and Tangerine had a mild but nice flavor. On the downside, Lemon lacked strength, and Pear was very light in flavor, though still tasty!"

“I purchased this lavender extract to craft a Lemon lavender martini. By adding a lavender syrup with lemon juice and extract, it turned out delicious! It really brought out the lavender flavor, balancing the overpowering lemon. I’m excited to try it in other recipes!”

“As a bakery owner, I absolutely love this product! I recently incorporated it into my lavender caramels and they were fantastic! It’s incredibly easy to use and provides such a great flavor.”

“I ordered this food-grade lavender extract for my coffee, and I’ve found that 6 drops give it a perfect taste! It’s a delightful addition to my morning routine.”

"I think this lemon flavor is fantastic for making lemon cookies!"

"I’m obsessed with Frontier's organic flavors! This lemon one was perfect for my keto lemon cheesecake and gave it an amazing boost!"

"I made lemon cloud cookies using this organic lemon extract. It smells wonderful and tastes delicious!"

"I had a hard time finding this cherry extract locally, but purchasing it on Amazon was a breeze. It was perfect for my chocolate covered cherry fudge and cherry mash during the holidays, really elevating the flavors. I will definitely buy this again!"

"This product is fantastic! It adds an excellent cherry flavor to both baked goods and liquids. Unlike many cherry flavorings that are overly sweet and poorly flavored, this extract is just right."

"I made some cherry macarons for my birthday, and this extract worked perfectly! It had a wonderful taste and smell, and everyone enjoyed the final product!"

"I made my Raspberry Habanero beer, and it turned out great! I used about 2 tsp for a 2.5-gallon batch, and it has the perfect amount of heat!"

"I baked some cookies for Christmas, and they were a hit! My neighbors and family couldn't believe how good they tasted. I'll definitely make them again!"

"I tried making lip balm, but there was no flavor at all, even after adding a lot. It felt like a waste of money. I had to put all stars or they would have taken my review down."

“I've enjoyed Happy Home flavoring for years. I appreciate that it's non-alcoholic and offers a true flavor. Plus, many of their flavorings are clear, so they don't alter the color of my baked goods. It's perfect for all my baking needs.”

“I decided to try this for baking, and I have to say, it’s a great value for the money compared to other brands I've tried.”

“Using this for my new recipe was a delightful experience; it’s affordable and quite flavorful. I definitely have no complaints!”
