Can I Use Molasses In Place Of Brown Sugar?
Yes, molasses can be used in place of brown sugar as it is one of the main ingredients in the production of brown sugar. However, it is important to adjust the recipe accordingly as molasses has a stronger flavor and higher moisture content than brown sugar. Generally, when substituting molasses for brown sugar, use 1 and 1/3 cups of molasses per 1 cup of brown sugar and reduce the liquid ingredients in the recipe by 5 tablespoons.
