Notes for using Honey to replace Sugar in Recipes:
- If your recipe doesn’t include baking soda, add ¼ tsp of baking soda for each cup of sugar replaced
- Using more than 1 cup of honey? Lessen additional liquid ingredients by ¼ cup per cup of honey – it retains more moisture than sugar
- Slow it down – baked goods made with honey will brown faster in the oven. Lower your oven temperature by about 25°F to prevent browning

What are the benefits of using honey instead of sugar?
Honey is 100% natural and adds distinct flavor notes to recipes. Honey also absorbs and retains moisture; this keeps your items fresh for a longer period of time. Honey is also sweeter than sugar, allowing you to use less of it to gain the same sweetness level.
