Can I use brown sugar in a hummingbird feeder?

My wife and daughters outlawed white sugar at home. I used it mainly when preparing the liquid for a hummingbird feeder. I won’t use artificial sugar for the birds, but how is brown sugar for hummingbirds?

I wouldn’t do it because molasses isn’t normally found in a humming bird’s natural diet. Brown sugar is normally just white sugar with molasses added to it, at least mine is.
