Equipment

Food processor

Ingredients

1 cup erythritol or your favorite low carb sweetener
2 ½ teaspoon molasses

Instructions

Place the molasses in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave very gently to help liquify it a bit.
2 ½ teaspoon molasses
Add the erythritol sweetener and molasses to a food processor and mix until everything is well combined and the sweetener is a uniform golden brown. (You can also use a mixer to combine them)
1 cup erythritol
Transfer to an airtight container and use to substitute regular brown sugar.

Notes

Make it on the stove: You can heat the molasses on the stovetop in a small saucepan rather than using the microwave.
Don't overheat: Be careful not to burn the molasses – just heat it little by little.
Use a handheld mixer: A mixer or blender also works great if you don't have a food processor.
Use other keto-friendly sweeteners: No erythritol sweetener on hand? No worries. You can use stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or any other sugar-free sweetener that you have on hand.
Adjust the sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter brown sugar, you can increase the amount of molasses slightly. Just be mindful that molasses does contain some carbs.
