Make Your Own Brown Sugar


The holiday baking season will be here any minute and that means you are going to need brown sugar.

Whether you are making chocolate gingerbread bars or brown sugar fudge or even brown sugar cupcakes, you will be using a LOT of brown sugar in the coming month.

Lucky for you, when you run out you can just make your own instead of running to the store.


You only need two things: sugar and molasses.

Homemade Brown Sugar

Makes a little over 1 cup

1 cup granulated sugar
1-2 tablespoons unsulphured molasses

Use 1 tablespoon molasses for light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons for dark brown sugar.

Combine both ingredients and mix together with a fork or electric mixer and blend until completely combined. The molasses may stick together but keep beating and it will break up and latch onto the sugar and you’ll have flavorful brown sugar in less than 5 minutes.

    Thanks for the idea!
    However, my problem is brown sugar is very expensive here and molasses is rarely available in the store because both are imported products.
    So I usually subsitute brown sugar with palm sugar which is easier and cheaper (at least here in Indonesia).. :)
