Homemade Brown Sugar

Learn to make rich and delicious homemade brown sugar with just two simple ingredients and only 10 minutes! This food is perfect for sweetening up any recipe.

Hi everyone! I'm Brandi from BranAppetit, and I'm so happy to be here sharing one of my favorite kitchen fixes.

If you're anything like me, you forget to buy things at the store pretty regularly. Even when I have them on my list, sometimes I miss the aisle or I start thinking about something else that I need and I completely miss things like eggs or sugar or coffee. All necessities.

Let's say you just got back from the store and are ready to make a batch of cookies. You reach for the brown sugar and realize you don't have any. What do you do? If you're like me, you're not going to want to put shoes on again and drive into town for sugar.

So what do you do if you need brown sugar right-this-minute?

1. Pray that you have enough white sugar to do this.

2. Get out the same amount of white sugar  - need ¾ cup of brown sugar? Get ¾ cup of white.

3. Grab that molasses that you barely use.

This will save you.

And you may never go back to store-bought brown sugar.

This stuff smells incredible! Like…so good that you'll just want to make it your new face scrub, right then, and forget about baking cookies. You've been warned.
