I should have known better, I usually don't like flavored coffee because (personally) I feel like it's made to go with some kind of creamer or something. But I bought a bad of hazelnut vanilla beans, ground it up, and meh. I've tried mixing it with my wife's creamer but it just gets so sweet and I like to drink it black. I've tried making it weaker than usual and it's helped, but did anyone have suggestions on ways to not waste this bag I got?

Have you tried it as cold brew? It could mute some of the more unsavory artificial flavors.

As an aside, if you have a burr grinder, you should double check the burrs. The artificial flavoring that is sprayed on top of the beans can gunk up the burrs and leave a lasting impact on the flavor of your brews if left uncleaned.

I actually did mix it with a (basically) milkshake the other day and that wasn't too bad, maybe I'll try to incorporate that. I'm not sure what a burr grinder is, I have a basic coffee/spice grinder with the two blades

I'm glad you found a way to use it!

Since you have a blade grinder, you should be totally fine if you give it a little wipe down after you've gone through all the beans. Best of luck getting through the rest of that bag :)
