How to Make Homemade Brown Sugar

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup molasses.
  2. Stir vigorously with a spoon or spatula until the molasses is completely incorporated and no streaks or globs remain. For a smoother consistency, you can use an electric mixer on low speed.
  3. For dark brown sugar, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional molasses, mixing until evenly distributed. The more molasses, the darker and richer the flavor will be.
  4. Store your homemade brown sugar in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months.
