Brown sugar is a soft, moist sugar that contains molasses, giving it a rich color and a deeper, caramel-like flavor. It comes in light and dark varieties and is commonly used in cookies, sauces, marinades, and baked goods. Depending on where you are in the world, it may also be called soft brown sugar, light muscovado, or demerara (though demerara has larger crystals).

As brown sugar packs differently in measuring cups, it’s especially helpful to convert it by weight for accuracy. This page provides simple conversions between grams, cups, tablespoons, and more to help you get consistent results in any recipe.

White granulated sugar is drier and lighter packed than brown sugar (200 g vs 220 g per cup) and has no molasses flavour. Swapping it in loses the moisture and caramel notes, so weigh when substituting and expect a crisper, plainer result. See what 250 grams of sugar is in teaspoons.

Raw sugar is dry with hard crystals and only a trace of molasses, unlike soft, moist brown sugar. It packs lighter (200 g vs 220 g per cup), so weigh when swapping and expect a drier, crunchier result. See what 250 grams of raw sugar is in teaspoons.

Molasses is the syrup that gives brown sugar its colour and caramel flavour. You can add a small amount of molasses to white sugar as a substitute for brown sugar, though the result will be wetter and more intensely flavoured. See what 100 grams of molasses is in teaspoons.
