These muffins use molasses to give it a rich flavor that you can’t get from any other ingredient.  Molasses has been used for centuries to sweeten up baked goods, while maintaining a small amount of antioxidants and nutrients.

What is molasses

Molasses is simply a product of the sugar cane processing. Once the sugar cane leaves are stripped and boiled down, you are left with a syrupy product called molasses.  You may have heard of Blackstrap molasses, which is the result of several boilings of the syrup, making the molasses more concentrated and thicker.  Many people in the healthy field like to buy and use this molasses for muffins, because it’s thought to be higher in iron, potassium, magnesium, and other minerals.   Molasses is also lower in sugar than other products made from sugar cane which makes it particularly appealing.Brown sugar is also used in this recipe, which is the combination of granulated sugar and molasses. In fact, you can make your own brown sugar when you are out of it, by stirring the two together.  Try it with your kids sometime! We were surprised at how easy this was.
