Out of brown sugar? For 1 cup, mix 1 cup white sugar with 1 tablespoon molasses until it is evenly brown. Closest to light brown sugar.

The swap

1 cup brown sugar = 1 cup white sugar + 1 tbsp molasses (mix until even)

Good for cookies, muffins and crumble toppings. This is closest to light brown sugar, so the flavor is milder than dark brown.
