Brown Sugar Substitute

This Brown Sugar Substitute recipe uses granulated sugar combined with molasses to replicate light or dark brown sugar. Mixing sugar with either two tablespoons or four tablespoons of molasses creates a moist, richly flavored sugar that can replace traditional brown sugar in baking and cooking, conserving pantry staples and providing flexibility.

Description

The Brown Sugar Substitute combines 2 1/2 cups of granulated sugar with molasses—two tablespoons for light brown sugar and four tablespoons for dark brown sugar. By mixing these ingredients until fully blended and no longer sticky, the mixture mimics the moisture and depth of flavor associated with commercially sold brown sugar. This allows bakers to create the effect of brown sugar without needing to store it separately.

This substitute works in any recipe calling for light or dark brown sugar, supplying the distinctive caramel notes and slightly moist texture that brown sugar imparts. It can be used immediately after mixing and incorporated into recipes for cookies, sauces, or glazes.
