I went to make cookies this weekend and realized I was out of brown sugar!
I remembered hearing that you could make it with granulated sugar, so I did some research and discovered it was the easiest thing in the world to make! All you need is a little bit of molasses and granulated sugar. I needed a cup and a half of brown sugar for my recipe so I ended up using about 1 tablespoon plus a teaspoon of molasses.
Easy. Peasy.
Apparently it is still winter in Chicago and I am so grateful that I was able to get away to San Antonio with my Mom this past weekend. I’ll share some photos of our fun and more importantly, food, as soon as I can!
Recipe: Homemade Brown Sugar
Ingredients:
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Molasses
Directions:
Pour molasses into sugar and stir until completely saturated and combined. It will be a bit goopy at first but stir as best you can and it will eventually absorb into the sugar.
You can add more molasses or a bit less depending on how rich you want the flavor to be!

Thanks love that idea. What happens when you run out of molasses as well!? 😉
Ha, then I guess you have to take a trip to the store 🙂
This is brilliant! I rarely have molasses at home, but I will have to start stocking it for those times I do run out of brown sugar. Thanks for sharing 🙂
