Substitute 2/3 cup of agave nectar for each cup of granulated sugar or brown sugar. Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 to 1/3 cup for recipes that call for granulated sugar, and approximately 1/4 cup for recipes calling for brown sugar. Brown sugar has a slightly higher moisture content than granulated sugar.
Substitute equal amounts of agave nectar for honey. Agave nectar has a mild, neutral taste that won't negatively affect the flavor of your recipe.
Pour agave nectar straight out of the bottle on pancakes -- you can substitute it one-for-one for maple syrup.
Substitute 1/2 cup to 1/3 cup of agave nectar for every cup of brown rice syrup. Adjust your recipe by increasing any other liquids by 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Use 1/2 cup of agave nectar for each cup of corn syrup. Agave nectar, which won't crystallize, makes an effective substitute for brown rice syrup or corn syrup.
Reduce cooking temperatures by 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and baked foods containing agave nectar will brown quickly. Keep an eye on baked goods, and extend the baking time if necessary.
