Brown Sugar Substitute

The bad news is, there is no real brown sugar substitute. Brown sugar is such a simple ingredient, there is really nothing like it.

Brown sugar is simply white granulated sugar with molasses added to it for flavor and moisture. The only appropriate substitute for brown sugar would be standard white sugar.

When using a recipe that calls for brown sugar and your only brown sugar replacement is white sugar, you will still maintain sweetness, but color, texture, and flavor may be altered. Will it ruin your recipe? Not necessarily. However, it might not have the exact result you desire.

One way to substitute brown sugar (store bought) would be by making brown sugar from scratch. Homemade brown sugar is very easy to make and as delicious, if not more, than store bought. All you need is molasses, granulated white sugar and a hand mixer or food processor.
