Introduction

Instead of white sugar this recipe uses molasses, which adds iron. Contains a lot of healthy ingredients and no eggs, as one of my daughters was allergic as a baby. I formulated this for the babies at first, but I'm addicted to it! All my friends love these muffins. Instead of white sugar this recipe uses molasses, which adds iron.

    Very Good
    Tasty without a lot of sugar. I substituted honey as molasses not available. Made 2 small loaves + 12 muffins. Enjoyed by neighbor also. - 4/18/14

    Yes, I've used honey many times too. I prefer the molasses flavor the best, but honey makes a good muffin too. Thanks for trying!

    Yay! Thanks for trying it! I really do make this all the time. Now I usually make muffins and freeze 'em so they are available any time. They thaw in less than an hour, usually.

    I'm so glad you tried my recipe and liked it! Lately I've been subbing in applesauce for half the oil and also using all whole wheat flour instead of a mixture. Figured I'd save myself some calories, and the babies are getting older too, so they don't need as much fat. It's still very good, I think.
