❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We cook a lot with brown sugar, and there have been occasions when we ran out and needed a quick substitute. This homemade brown sugar will work in a pinch and it’s always nice to know you can make this up! It keeps well too!

This is also a great food tip if you enjoy just making your own and knowing what is in your food. Reading food labels can be eye opening and if you want just two simple ingredients this is a fantastic way to accomplish just that!

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

• White Granulated Sugar
• Molasses

Yep, those are the only two ingredients you need to make a brown sugar substitute! We always have molasses on hand, so if you don’t, this won’t be that handy, but we cook with molasses quite a bit.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

This recipe is for light brown sugar and if you need dark brown sugar you can change the ratio to 2 tablespoons to one cup.
