Step 1
Keep in mind that your concoction will not be as sweet since honey is typically sweeter than sugar. You should expect a slightly different taste. This substitution could be a good way to cut the sweetness in your recipe.
-
Step 2
Add extra liquid to the recipe since you will be taking away the moisture from the honey. If you are substituting brown sugar, then you will not need to compensate as much, since brown sugar has molasses in it.
-
Step 3
Use 1 1/4 cup of sugar to replace every cup of honey. Also add 1/4 cup of liquid, which could be water, milk or oil.
-
Step 4
Save calories by substituting sugar for honey. Honey has 64 calories per tablespoon, while sugar only has 46 calories per tbsp.
-
Step 5
Eliminate the baking soda in the recipe that calls for honey. Baking soda is used to take away the slight acidity form the honey and is unnecessary with the use of sugar.
-
Step 6
Make sure that the people who will be eating your baked goods are not strict vegetarians or vegans because cane sugar is sifted through animal bones prior to packaging.

on 11/4/2009 I made granola today and I substituted sugar for honey. The original recipe said to heat 3/4 Cup oil, 1/2 Cup honey, and 1 Cup sugar on the stove until the sugar dissolved. Without the honey, my sugar refused to dissolved. Does the honey act as an emulsifier for the oil and sugar?

on 1/26/2009 On Step 6 - sugar is not sifted thru animal bones!There are large motor-driven sifters using metal screens that separate the sugar granules by size. Sugar does not touch animal parts in any way.

on 1/8/2009 A strict vegan wouldn't be eating the baked good with honey either, because it is considered an animal product.
