How to Make the Best Keto Brown Sugar

Creating your own keto brown sugar at home is a game-changer for anyone following a low-carb or ketogenic diet. This simple two-ingredient sweetener delivers all the rich, caramelized flavor of traditional brown sugar while keeping your carb count minimal. At just 1 gram of net carbs per serving, you can enjoy your favorite baked goods and sweetened treats without derailing your keto goals.

The secret to this recipe is the combination of allulose and monk fruit sweetener, which work together to create that authentic molasses-forward taste and slightly moist texture you expect from brown sugar. The molasses is the star ingredient here—it provides the deep color and distinctive flavor that makes brown sugar so beloved in baking and cooking. This keto version mixes up in minutes using a stand mixer, making it easy to batch and have on hand whenever you need it.

Whether you’re sweetening your morning coffee, baking keto-friendly cookies, or adding depth to savory sauces and glazes, this homemade keto brown sugar is an essential ingredient for your low-carb kitchen. Once you try it, you’ll never miss the carb-loaded version again.
