what can you put in place of brown sugar for this recipe(below)?

Question

"FLOUR - FREE OATMEAL COOKIES"

1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. light or dark brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg

Mix all ingredients. Chill if batter is too wet. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until just lightly browned all over.

Answer 1

You could try castor sugar or unrefined sugar. They are even better for you than brown sugar.

OK, let me qualify that: sugar is not good for you . But white sugar is the worst,and the more refined a sugar is, the worse it is for you. So raw sugar is probably the best.

I wouldn't use any liquid sugar substitute because it is not a huge recipe and the liquid may throw off your count.

However, you could try applesauce, thickened with a little (a LITTLE!) cornstarch.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Use the 1/2 cup of brown sugar you have. And then use 1/4 cup granulated sugar. If you like the cookies chewier, add 1/2 tsp. molasses since that's part of brown sugar.

Answer 3

Great question.

I particularly like using the one-to-one sugar substitutes. Two are readily available on most supermarket shelves - Splenda and Sugar Twin (the later comes as both white sugar replacement and brown sugar replacement). Another favorite is DiabetiSweet, which is available here on the Net and in many supermarkets, drug stores, and discount stores. All of these sugar substitutes are excellent for prolonged cooking and baking. Neither leaves that tell-tale bitter or metallic aftertaste that many sugar substitutes have when heated. These are all measured out just like sugar, one cup for one cup, 1 tablespoon for 1 tablespoon, etc.

Please send me one of the cookies when you've finished baking!

Answer 4

Substitute for brown sugar is white sugar ...1 cup...with 2 Tbl. molasses.
for 1/2 cup use 1 Tbl. molasses

Answer 5

I'm assuming that you want to bake, but you're out of brown sugar. In that case, I'd just substitute white sugar.

Answer 6

an equal amt of white sugar, and if you have it, about 1/2 tsp. of molasses.

Answer 7

you can use regular sugar and a little maple syrup the real stuff if you have it or mollases that is what brown sugar is ( sugar with molasses)
