Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses See Notes

Instructions

  • Add sugar to a medium bowl. Pour molasses over sugar. Use a fork to combine the molasses into the sugar. You can also use a whisk, wooden spoon or an electric mixer. I have even used a blender. But, in the end the fork is my favorite method.
  • Continue pressing fork into sugar until the molasses and brown sugar are fully combined and there are no molasses chunks left.
  • Store in a sealed resealable container. Use as needed.

Notes

  • For light brown sugar use 1 tablespoon molasses, for dark brown use 2 tablespoons molasses.
