Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing "healthier" about brown sugar than white. It's really just white sugar with added
molasses, and that molasses is what gives it that softer, moister texture. When a recipe doesn't specify, use light brown
sugar, which has a less pronounced molasses flavor.
You may also see granulated brown sugar in the supermarket. It's great for sprinkling on toast or oatmeal because it's dry
and doesn't clump, but I don't recommend it for baking.
