Brown sugar is not significantly healthier than white sugar.
Both contain almost the exact same number of calories—about 15 to 17 calories per teaspoon and Both are made primarily of sucrose and affect your blood sugar levels in the same way.
Brown sugar contains tiny trace amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, and iron from molasses, but the amounts are far too small to provide any real health benefit.

White sugar is heavily refined to remove all molasses, while brown sugar is either unrefined/less refined or white sugar mixed with a small amount of molasses. Brown sugar adds a moist, caramel-like flavor and a softer texture to baked goods, whereas white sugar has a neutral, sweeter taste.
Whether you choose white or brown sugar comes down to personal preference, as taste and color are the main differences between the two.
Although brown sugar contains more minerals than white sugar, the quantities of these minerals are so minuscule that they won’t provide any health benefits.

Verdict:
Brown sugar is not healthier than white sugar.
