#brown sugar has so much more liquid! it's why using it will give moister muffins

[elucubrare]

apropos of nothing much sometimes i think about the kitchen substitution chart that said you could swap both brown sugar and confectioners' sugar 1:1 for granulated white sugar. it's not the most egregious example of online misinformation but it will definitely lead to some gross baked goods.

#brown sugar has so much more liquid! it's why using it will give moister muffins#(and also why i've modded an otherwise decent muffin recipe to increase the brown sugar content over the white sugar)#and confectioners' sugar has cornstarch in it#so it will cause things to thicken and clump
