In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Pour 1 tablespoon of molasses over the sugar.
Using a fork or a whisk, mix the sugar and molasses together. Continue blending until the molasses is fully incorporated and the mixture resembles the texture of store-bought brown sugar.
If a darker, richer flavor is desired, you can add an additional 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of molasses and mix thoroughly again.
Once fully combined, your homemade brown sugar substitute is ready to use. Store it in an airtight container to retain freshness.
