Molasses Recipes

This was my first attempt at making my own granola, because let's face it--that stuff is expensive at the store! You can use any combination of your favorite nuts, seeds and dried fruit, but these are my favorites.

At only 53 calories a piece, these soft cookies are sure to please!

Delicious, rich flavour without any solid fats, and the delicious pieces of raisins throughout!

This is my version of "that steakhouse's" rich, dark molasses bread they serve alongside your meal. I think mine's better - there's more grains, less fat, and way more flavour!

My fiance claims not to like gingerbread, but he ate three of these babies and declared them "the best gingerbreads hes ever had".

Blackstrap molasses and spelt flour in these rolled spice cookies add a healthy touch to Christmas gift baskets this year. Sure, they're decorated with candy-coated chocolate balls... but chocolate's good for you, right?

This bread is typically made with beet molasses in Germany, but any other kind of dark molasses or blackstrap will do.
It is quite rich in fiber and very filling. The molasses makes it additionally rich in trace minerals.

Soft and moist cookies that are almost guilt free.

This recipe turned out SO good, I had to name it Grandma Janna's because I KNOW I'll be making these for the rest of my life, HAHA. Almost NO sugar, very low fat, delicious, hearty, and full of protein and fiber!

They are a healthy snack in a cookie costume. You could dress these up with nuts, more raisins or brown sugar, but I liked them just like this. They were really filling.

It’s an interesting quick bread since there’s both whole wheat flour and cornmeal in there, making it all deep and earthy tasting. Your wet ingredients are just buttermilk and molasses. Lots of thick, gooey molasses. There’s no other sugar in it so it turns out somewhere in between savoury and sweet. It’s not going to taste how you expect so wrap your head around that fact now.

A soft chewy molasses cookie reminiscent of an old fashioned ginger snap... only not so crunchy.

The entire world thinks that brown bread is supposed to be steamed. Well not where I come from… the Maritimes. The steamed variety is called Boston Brown Bread.

Brown Bread is the love interest of Molasses Baked Beans. They are inseparable in many people's minds – mine included. Brown Bread is wonderful while still warm from the oven, and it also toasts extremely well.

Great cookie, made even better with homemade, sorghum molasses from Tillers International.

Very, very easy. I'm going to try a sugar substitute. Agave or Stevia. Check back for substitution results and nutitional info.

As far as sweeteners go, molasses is a pretty healthy one. This granola offers a good amount of calcium, fiber and flavor!
