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
