Total Time: 20

Servings: 48 servings (=1 tsp per serving)

Ingredients

1 cup granulated white sugar
1 Tbsp molasses - for light brown sugar
OR 2 Tbsp molasses - for dark brown sugar

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup granulated white sugar with 1 Tbsp (for light) or 2 Tbsp (for dark) molasses.
Mix thoroughly with a food processor, stand mixer or electric hand mixer until the molasses is fully incorporated and the sugar is evenly brown and fluffy.
Use immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Recipe Notes:

Use Unsulphured Molasses: For the best flavor, stick with unsulphured molasses like Grandma’s Molasses. It gives your brown sugar a smooth, balanced taste without any bitterness.
Customize the Flavor: Want a richer, deeper flavor? Add a little extra molasses! You can easily adjust it to make it lighter or darker, depending on your preference.
No More Store-Bought Brown Sugar: Once you try this homemade version, you’ll never want to go back to store-bought. It works perfectly in cookies, cakes, or even savory dishes like BBQ sauces and marinades.
Storage Tip: Store your homemade brown sugar in an airtight container to keep it soft. A slice of bread or a brown sugar saver can help keep the sugar from hardening over time.
