Homemade Brown Sugar

Description

Homemade brown sugar is incredibly easy to make with just two pantry staples: white granulated sugar and molasses. Whether you’re in a pinch or want a fresher, more customizable version, this DIY brown sugar is ready in minutes and can be adjusted to taste.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of Organic Cane Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon of Molasses

Equipment

• Medium Mixing Bowl
• Whisk
• Airtight Container
• Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
• Large Mason Jar

Instructions

• Add the sugar and molasses to a medium bowl.
• Use a whisk or a hand mixer to blend until the molasses is fully incorporated and the texture is uniform. (For a larger quantity, using a stand mixer can be very helpful.)
• Store in an airtight container to keep it soft and fresh.

Notes

• Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature. If it hardens, add a terra cotta sugar saver to soften it.
• Customization: Adjust the amount of molasses to control the flavor and color.
• Quick Fix: You can mix directly into a recipe if you're short on time—just combine the molasses and sugar when mixing the wet ingredients.
• Organic Version: Use organic cane sugar and unsulfured molasses for a more natural alternative.
