Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons molasses

Instructions

Add your granulated sugar and molasses to a bowl.
Mix the sugar and molasses with a fork until all the lumps are gone and the sugar is completely coated. You can press larger clumps of molasses to the side of your bowl to incorporate them into the sugar.
Transfer the brown sugar to an air-tight container or use it right away.

Notes

For light brown sugar, you need to add one teaspoon molasses to 1 cup granulated sugar.
To soften your brown sugar, you can add a piece of bread to your container. After a few hours, your brown sugar should be soft again.
Homemade brown sugar will keep for at least a year.
