Brown Sugar

Who knew making your own brown sugar could be so easy (and fun)? Forget the store-bought stuff and whip up a batch in minutes with just two simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! Whether you’re baking, cooking, or just need a quick fix for your morning coffee, homemade brown sugar adds a rich, personalized touch to every dish. Here’s how you can make it yourself!

You’d need:

1 cup of granulated white sugar

Molasses (about 1 tablespoon for light brown sugar, or 2 tablespoons for dark brown sugar—adjust to your preference)

How to make:

Using the paddle attachment on your mixer, mix the sugar and molasses on low speed until the molasses is fully incorporated. You can eyeball the amount of molasses based on how light or dark you want your brown sugar. For light brown sugar, start with 1 tablespoon, and for dark brown sugar, use about 2 tablespoons. Adjust until it’s just the right color! The result will be a perfectly smooth and even brown sugar, ready for all your recipes!

Store:
Once your brown sugar is ready, transfer it into an airtight container. It should stay fresh for several months!

Tips:

If your brown sugar hardens over time, just place a slice of bread or a damp paper towel in the container to soften it up again.

Adjust the molasses to your taste for a lighter or darker flavor.

Making brown sugar yourself is so easy, and you get to control the exact flavor and color you want! No more running out of brown sugar at the last minute.
