URGENT PLEASE HELP!! replacement for brown sugar?

Question

i want to make Spice bread and the recipe calls for 1 cup brown sugar. unfortunately i do not have any.. can any one tell me if i can use regular white sugar. will it effect my spice bread? how much white sugar do i use to get a good bread?

Answer 1

light brown sugar = golden brown sugar  

(1C = 6 ounces)

Substitutes: 2/3 C dark brown sugar + 1/3 C granulated sugar

OR turbinado sugar

dark brown sugar  

(1 C = 6 ounces)

Substitutes:

1 C light brown sugar + 1 tablespoon molasses

OR 1 C granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons molasses

Answer 2

you can use white sugar but taste is little bit different

Answer 3

White sugar and molasses.  

Answer 4

it will affect cuz they taste differently but you can borrow some from your neighbor

Answer 5

Use white sugar and ad in about a 1/4 cup of grahm cracker crumbs and some maple syrup. If you have mollases then use it instead of the maple syrup, or use both.

Answer 6

Brown sugar and white sugar are the same thing, but brown sugar has a bit of molasses added.  Light brown sugar is 3.5% molasses while dark brown sugar is 6.5% molasses.

Just use white sugar cup for cup what it calls for brown sugar.  It will make very little difference in the final taste of the bread, although it will be a lighter color.

Answer 7

white sugar will do.

1cup brown sugar equals half cup white sugar

Answer 8

i tink maple syrup

Answer 9

From Recipes.com:

Brown sugar  1 cup, packed

1 cup white sugar plus 1/4 cup molasses and decrease the liquid in recipe by 1/4 cup

OR 1 cup white sugar

OR 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar  

Answer 10

Brown sugar is white sugar with one teaspoon of molasses added to it.  Do you have some molasses, if so, just add them in separately as described.  

If not, you can make spice bread with a very close approximation by using a teaspoon of honey and one cup of white sugar,

Or you can merely substitute 1 cup of white sugar for the brown, and add 1/8 tsp. more cinnamon.  That will up the cinnamony goodness of the bread, while covering for the carmelly brown sugar flavor that is missing.  You'll never notice the difference!

Good luck on your spice bread.

Answer 11

You can use regular sugar...and if you have any molasses, you can add a couple teaspoons of that to it.

Answer 12

use regular white sugar; it will do fine.

To mimic brown sugar, add about 1 tsp of molasses to the batter.  That's all brown sugar is: brown granulated sugar + a bit of molasses.
