Have you ever run out of brown sugar in the middle of a baking session? Or maybe you’re looking for a healthier, more cost-effective alternative to store-bought brown sugar? Whatever the reason, making brown sugar at home is incredibly simple and requires just two ingredients. Once you try this homemade version, you may never want to buy it from the store again!
What Is Brown Sugar?
Brown sugar is essentially white sugar with molasses added back into it. The molasses content gives brown sugar its distinct color, moisture, and rich caramel-like flavor. It comes in two varieties:
- ✅ Light Brown Sugar: Contains less molasses and has a mild flavor.
- ✅ Dark Brown Sugar: Contains more molasses, making it richer and slightly stickier.
Why Make Brown Sugar at Home?
1. Saves Money 💰
Store-bought brown sugar can be more expensive than white sugar. Making your own allows you to control the cost.
2. Fresher and Softer 🍯
Homemade brown sugar stays soft longer because you can adjust its moisture content as needed.
3. Customizable 🎨
Prefer a deeper flavor? Add more molasses! Need a lighter taste? Use less molasses!
4. No Additives 🚫
Commercial brown sugar sometimes contains anti-caking agents. Homemade brown sugar is pure and free from unnecessary chemicals.
