Thanks for looking at my blog/website. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I need to look up some information about agave nectar. I was not familiar with it, so it is really nice to learn about a new ingredient. I will cut and paste what I found out. From I found I would go for it. I hope you enjoy them. They make a huge portion, so I sometimes only make half. Substituting Agave Nectar for Liquid Sweeteners Honey Replace each cup of honey with one cup of agave syrup. Maple Syrup Replace each cup of maple syrup with one cup of agave syrup. Brown Rice Syrup When replacing a cup of brown rice syrup, use 1/2 to 1/3 as much agave, and increase other liquids in the recipe by up to 1/2 a cup. Corn Syrup When replacing a cup of light corn syrup, use 1/2 as much agave, and increase other liquids in the recipe by up to 1/3 of a cup. Like corn syrup, agave nectar will not crystallize. Substituting Agave Nectar for Granulated Sugar White Sugar For each cup of white sugar replaced, use 2/3 of a cup of agave and reduce other liquids by 1/4 to 1/3 cup. This substitution will also work for Demerara Sugar, Turbinado Sugar, Evaporated Cane Juice, or Sucanat. Brown Sugar For each cup of white sugar replaced, use 2/3 of a cup of agave and reduce other liquids by 1/4 cup. Because the moisture content of Brown Sugar is higher than that of white sugar, liquids may not have to be reduced as much when substituting agave nectar. Happy Cooking! Jessica Hey Wendy!
