Light and Dark Brown Sugar Recipe
Report
If you're out of brown sugar, don't worry, you only need 2 things to make your own light and dark brown sugar in under 5 minutes! It's exactly the same as shop-bought and as easy as 123! (I also give substitutes for those who don't have molasses.)

Ingredients
- 1 Cup granulated white sugar Don't use powdered white sugar!
- 1-2 Tablespoons molasses Use 1 Tablespoon of molasses light brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons of molasses for dark brown sugar. See notes for substitutes.

Instructions
- Mix the granulated white sugar and the molasses together by hand till all incorporated. Alternatively, if you’re feeling lazy, use a food processor to give the mix a few whirls- I only recommend this is making a huge batch (if not you're just adding to the washing up!)
- After everything has been mixed well, store in an airtight jar. Add a slice of bread to prevent lumps.
Notes
- Molasses Substitutes
- For all 3 substitutes: use 1 Tablespoon per Cup of white sugar for light brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons per Cup for dark brown.
- Tip: if you're vegan, make sure your sugar is free of bone char.
- Note: the nutritional information is an estimate automatically calculated using the WPRM recipe maker and I am not responsible for its veracity.
- Black treacle: as mentioned above, this is actually a type of molasses and is the best molasses substitute.
- Maple Syrup: this sweetener also has a complex flavor that can work in a pinch.
- Neutral Honey: some honeys have very distinct flavors of spices and herbs. Avoid those as they won't taste like brown sugar!
