Substitute for Brown Sugar

Today, I was over half way finished making homemade granola bars when I realized I didn’t have enough brown sugar.  I did a quick google search and discovered you can use sugar and molasses to make your own brown sugar.

For every one cup of brown sugar you need, use one cup of granulated sugar and 1 1/2 Tbsp of molasses.

I tried it and it worked great for my recipe!

Do you ever sub ingredients instead of making a quick trip to the store?
