Make your own brown sugar at home using two simple ingredients.
Cook Mode
Prevent your screen from going dark
Ingredients
▢
1
cup
granulated sugar
▢
1–2
tablespoons
molasses
Instructions
For light brown sugar:
combine 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon molasses.
For dark brown sugar:
combine 1 cup granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons of molasses.
Pulse in a food processor until fully combined.
This ratio can be used as a 1:1 substitute for store-bought brown sugar. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to prevent clumping.
Notes
If you don’t have molasses, you can use the same ratio and make this recipe with another liquid sweetener of your choice, though the flavor will vary.
