How to Make Brown Sugar
Make your own brown sugar at home using just two simple ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons molasses
Instructions
- In a medium size bowl, combine sugar and molasses. Start with 1 tablespoon of molasses add more depending on how dark you would like the brown sugar. One tablespoon will create light brown sugar while two tablespoons of molasses will create dark brown sugar.
- Use a spatula or wooden spoon to remove any lumps in the sugar. You can also use your hands but it is best to wear gloves when using this method. Mix well until sugar is uniform in color and fluffy with no lumps remaining.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 30 days. If sugar hardens during storage, add the brown sugar to a microwavable bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave in 10 second increments until the sugar is crumbly and can be broken apart with a fork.
Recipe can be doubled or tripled if more brown sugar is needed or if making a bigger batch.
