How to Substitute for Sugar in a Recipe

There are many things that can be substituted for white granulated sugar in a recipe.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Honey
• Fruit
• Maple syrup

1. Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you will need to use less honey than regular white granulated sugar. Use 2/3 cup of honey for every 1 cup of sugar.

2. Maple syrup can be substituted for granulated sugar in some recipes, and should be used as 2/3 cup maple syrup for 1 cup of granulated sugar.

3. Fresh fruit can be pureed in a blender and substituted for half of the white sugar in recipe. Applesauce can also be used

Tips & Warnings
