Print Recipe

Easy homemade brown sugar made with just white sugar and molasses. Create light or dark brown sugar in minutes using tools you already have.

Ingredients

Scale
  •    1 cup white granulated sugar

1–2 tablespoons molasses

  • 1 tablespoon = light brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons = dark brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Add the white sugar and molasses to a bowl, food processor, or blender.

  2. Mix until the molasses is fully combined and the sugar is evenly brown.

    • By hand: Use a fork or whisk and mash out any clumps.

  3. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.

Equipment

Notes

  • Texture may be slightly looser than store-bought — this is normal.

  • For best results, let the sugar sit covered for 5 minutes, then remix.

  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container to keep it soft.
