Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar organic if possible
  • 1 tablespoon unsulphured molasses

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or fork
  • Storage Container

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering your ingredients: 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of unsulphured molasses. Make sure your molasses is fresh for the best flavor.
  2. In your mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar first. Then, pour in the molasses over the sugar.
  3. Using your whisk or fork, begin to mix the sugar and molasses together. It’s best to start slowly to prevent the sugar from flying everywhere. Continue mixing until the molasses is fully incorporated and the sugar takes on a uniform brown color.
  4. If you prefer a darker brown sugar with a richer flavor, feel free to add an additional teaspoon of molasses. Mix again until fully combined.
  5. Once you have your desired consistency, transfer the homemade brown sugar into an airtight container. This will help maintain its moisture and flavor.

Notes

  • Store homemade brown sugar in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • If it hardens, add a slice of bread or an apple slice to keep it soft.
  • Feel free to adjust the molasses for desired richness.
