Many of us who find ourselves cooking and baking from scratch do so for multiple reasons: cost, quality of ingredients, and personal satisfaction.
Making your own homemade pantry staples accelerates the process, directly replacing items you normally buy at the store with ones from your own home.
Whether you’re making homemade extracts for baking, flavored simple syrups for coffee or lemonade, or your own brown sugar with molasses , there are countless ways to replace the store-bought, prepackaged items in your life with homemade ones!

Homemade Extracts
I love making homemade extracts to elevate my from scratch baking recipes, and the flavor difference is night and day!
Simple Syrups
A little sugar and water is all you need to make the most delicious homemade simple syrups. They’re way cheaper than flavored syrups from the store, and there are so many options to choose from!
Baking Ingredients
Out of brown sugar? Baking powder? Pumpkin pie spice? No problem! You can make all of those ingredients in your own kitchen with a couple of basic ingredients.
Pantry Staples
From roasted pecan butter to hazelnut granola, there are lots of items you can throw together with almost no effort.
