Question:
Why do so many Sugar Free receipes call for Brown Sugar

Do we not dump on brown sugar the same as we would on White sugar?    — Sharon H. (posted on November 22, 2002)

I've heard that, yes, we would dump on brown sugar as well. Maybe the recipe called for a brown sugar substitute. If so, it's called "Sugar Twin". Vi

YES WE DUMP JUST AS EASY ON BROWN SUGAR AS WHITE!!!!! I found out the hard way... There is sugar free brown sugar out there but it doesnt cook up as nice and it is also very bitter after it has been heated up. I am looking for good holiday recipies that I can enjoy that are sugar free.

IMO, Brown Sugar-Twin is HIDEOUS with an awful aftertaste! And believe me, I've done a lot of experimenting! I've even figured out how to make powdered sugar that us RNY'ers can have! When a recipe calls for brown sugar, you can try using the same amount of turbinado sugar plus 2-3 Tbs. of sugar-free maple syrup and it works wonders. Turbinado sugar is natural, so it doesn't have the sugar alcohols that give people stomach upset, diarrhea, cramping, etc. For more recipes, visit www.freewebs.com/recipes-after-rny or see my profile page for the link.

I use brown SugarLike. Tastes like brown sugar--exactly. Texture is more like granulated. Works great in Toll House cookies, hot cereal, etc.
