Quick answer: Coconut sugar is easy to start with. Simple recipes include a coconut sugar coffee syrup, cinnamon toast, oatmeal cookies, glazed roasted carrots and a quick caramel sauce. In most recipes, it replaces brown or white sugar one-for-one by weight. Keep heat moderate, because coconut sugar browns faster than white sugar.
Key takeaways – Start with simple recipes that use few ingredients. – Swap coconut sugar one-for-one by weight. – Use moderate heat to avoid burning. – Taste and adjust, since coconut sugar adds caramel flavour.
1. Coconut sugar coffee syrup
Combine equal weights of coconut sugar and water in a small pan. Warm and stir until dissolved. Add a cinnamon stick or vanilla if you like. Cool and keep in the fridge. Use it in iced coffee, tea or over pancakes.
2. Cinnamon toast
Mix coconut sugar with ground cinnamon. Spread butter or plant butter on warm toast and sprinkle with the mixture. For extra crunch, put it under the grill for a minute, watching closely.

5. Quick caramel sauce
Heat coconut sugar with a little water until dissolved. Simmer gently for a few minutes, then remove from heat and stir in cream or coconut milk and a pinch of salt. Use over ice cream, fruit or pancakes. Be careful, as hot sugar can cause burns.
