Honey is primarily carbohydrates (natural sugars) and water. It also has some enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Honey is an all-natural sweetener providing 17 grams of carbohydrates and 64 calories per tablespoon.
Substituting honey for other sugars in a recipe is easy. You are adding more liquid so keep this in mind and adjust the recipe accordingly. When baking, substitute honey for up to half of the granulated sugar called for in the recipe. For every cup added, reduce the other liquids in the recipe by 1/4 cup,add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees to prevent over-browning.
So next time your buzzing around the kitchen, make sure you reach for the honey for your sweet ingredient. You'll be delighted with a naturally sweet treat.
