Any substitutes for molasses? I do not use molasses

I would imagine one reason why molasses is included in the recipe is to give the batter some body to compensate for taking out the sugar.

Substitutions could include:

One Tbs of dark brown sugar
4 grams of carb
4 grams of sugar

One Tbs dark corn syrup
15 grams of carbs
15 grams of sugar

One Tbs pure maple syrup
15 grams of carbs
14 grams of sugar

I think the dark corn syrup would be the best choice of the three.

Compare to molasses:

One Tbs of molasses
15 grams of carbs
11 grams of sugar
