Recipe: Substitutes for Molasses

Hi Elly,

You can substitute honey or light or dark corn syrup for the molasses but you won't have that distinctive molasses flavor. In recipes calling for just a teaspoon to two you may not notice too much of a difference. In recipes such as gingerbread you would taste the difference.

Other options:

Molasses Crystals

Molasses Powder

Or find a neighbor that always has molasses on hand and borrow some when you need it :-)

I hope that's a help!
