Instructions
Option 1 - Honey, Light Corn Syrup, Maple Syrup
Use any of these agave nectar substitutes in an equal 1:1 ratio to replace the agave called for in a recipe.
Option 2 - Sugar
You'll need your agave amount + ⅓ extra of sugar to replace the sweetness of your agave nectar. So use 4 teaspoons sugar (to substitute for 1 tablespoon agave), or 1 ⅓ cups sugar to substitute for 1 cup agave nectar.BAKING: When baking, you'll need to add moisture to your agave substitute when using sugar. Be sure to add ½ cup liquid (water, milk, oil, melted butter) for each 1 cup of sugar used.
