A baking question

Can you substitute brown sugar for white sugar whenever you want?  Is the amount you use the same?  Brown sugar sounds so much better for banana bread, but the recipe calls for 1 cup of white.

I'm pretty sure you would want to adjust the liquid in the recipe with brown sugar substitution.  But, with something as non-techy as banana bread, I'm certain you'd be fine.

my banana bread recipe uses brown sugar, so I say go for it.

With quick bread recipes you can play around a lot easier.  Change it up and enjoy.

Brown sugar will give more flavour than white sugar, which you may or may not want depending on the recipe.  I think in banana bread it would be a fine substitution.

It might make the batter/dough a little moister, so maybe add an extra tablespoon or three of flour.  But like a PP said, you can play around with quickbread recipes pretty easily.

For the most part yes, for banana bread I usually do 1/2 and 1/2 but you could go completely brown and it should be fine.
