It’s been a while since I offered up a good old fashioned tutorial. So here we go with perhaps the easiest yet “How to Make Brown Sugar”.

Now you may wonder why you would ever need to make brown sugar, after all it’s in every store already made. True. But every once in a while haven’t you gone to the cupboard to pull out the brown sugar and find only a few granules in the bottom of the container? You are in the middle of baking and if you are anything like me, you aren’t exactly dressed to run out to the store. Can I get an Amen? Well now you don’t have to take off the ‘seen better days’ sweatpants and put on shoes (or a bra) because you can make your own brown sugar in minutes and you only need two ingredients. Granulated sugar and unsulphured molasses!

Molasses is a natural sweetener and a good source of potassium, calcium and iron and when combined with granulated sugar it makes brown sugar. Yup! That’s what you have been buying all those years.
