At the school where I work, the assistant teacher makes a lovely wheat bread using molasses as the sweetener for the yeast to rise.

And don't forget gingerbread snaps and cookies.

when my mom was little my grandma used to give them(all 18 kids- though not at the same time obviously but probably for many many years) a glass of powdered milk, with blakstrap molasses and water after school. My mom has fond memories of drinking this cool drink after school

I use it occasionally in stir-fry sauces. I used to use it ALL the time in my whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread - it was soooooo good. Then I bought a case of bs molasses from my buying club about 2 weeks before I went gluten-free!

So I'll be watching this thread for ideas!

I just used it an angel bar (a cookie bar). I used whole wheat flour for the dough and honey and blackstrap molasses for the top layer, and it was sooo good. Even my sugar-addicted dh likes it.

I use it in just about anything that calls for sugar. Breads (even wheat-free), oatmeal, buckwheat pancakes, drizzled over bananas, etc. Sometimes dd and I will eat a spoonful by itself, though it is very rich and much stronger than honey.

It is rich in iron and other nutrients.

I would love the recipes for the things mentioned.

I use a honey/molasses/maple syrup blend in my baking, on french and cinnamon toasts. I do some fusion marinades- southern meets pacific rim I guess- with molasses and hoisin, braggs, ginger, etc. Quick toddler sweet dip: Whole fat plain yogurt, splash vanilla, sprinkle cinnnamon, drizzle dark molasses, or blackstrap/honey mixed. Dd stirs it up while I fetch the toast/graham crackers/ fruit.
