Effects on Your Baking
Brown sugar imparts a richer, more complex flavor profile to baked goods compared to granulated sugar. The molasses in brown sugar adds notes of caramel and toffee, which can enhance the overall sweetness and introduce a subtle acidity. This deeper sweetness can make the baked goods taste more complex and can complement spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, often used in cookies and spice cakes.
