How to Make Brown Sugar

21 Jan By

Brown Sugar Substitute

The other night my family wanted me to make Chocolate Chip Cookies.  As I started to assemble my ingredients, I realized I was OUT OF BROWN SUGAR! Crud! So I asked the wonderful TCB facebook fans if I could just use more white sugar……..NO!  But I learned from those amazing people on how to make brown sugar!  I ended up making the cookies Friday night and decided to try my luck at making my own brown sugar. make your own brown sugar

Brown Sugar Recipe

  • 1 Cup White granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Molasses (use 1 1/2 tablespoons for light brown sugar)

I used my magic bullet to mix.  I poured in 1/2 cup sugar, added the molasses, then poured in the remaining sugar.

Mixed for about 3o seconds while also shaking the magic bullet.

I followed a recipe I found on Food.com, and she had mentioned she found it on Martha Stewart.

brown sugar substituteBEAUTIFUL!  So easy!  I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back to store bought brown sugar.  I think it tasted better than store bought.  It’s always nice to know you can find easy ways to substitute ingredients in a pinch.

    Thanks for sharing! It makes so much more sense to make exactly what you need, rather than keeping a box in the cupboard that always seems to get rock hard before I use it. Yeah, that’s how often I get a chance to bake. ;)

    Ok seriously this is great, I always run out of brown sugar, but I have to buy molasses now so it sort of works out even LOL.
