HONEY
- To substitute 1 cup of sugar: Use 2/3 cup honey.
- Honey is sweeter than sugar, so you need to use less.
- Decrease other liquids in the recipe by 1/4 cup, because there’s water in the honey too.
MAPLE SYRUP
- ¾ cup of maple syrup for every one cup of sugar
PRO TIP: Simply Cut Down On Sugar
- As a general rule, you can reduce sugar in a recipe by about 25% without noticeable differences. For instance, if a recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of sugar, reduce the amount to 3 tablespoons. When reducing sugar, you may need to increase the liquid in a recipe.
