He took half of them to work [loves to eat on the run while working] and put extras in the freezer for the week. I too feel good about him eating healthier items like this Thanks!

I live in Costa Rica so I have seen first hand how molasses is made.Here is a synopsis...Mature sugar cane is boiled down in order to extract white refined table sugar. A byproduct of this process is a rich, mahogany-colored liquid known as unsulphured blackstrap molasses. The original nutrients of the sugar cane reside in the molasses. These essential nutrients include iron, calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium & zinc, and traces of various vitamins. Refined white sugar has none of these. An additional benefit of molasses is its low glycemic index (GI), meaning the glucose & carbohydrates in the molasses are metabolized slowly. Low GI foods help stabilize your body's blood sugar levels, require less insulin production, and provide you with sustained levels of energy. Besides these benefits, blackstrap molasses adds a rich, tawny flavor to recipes unlike any other sweetener.

Not too sweet, and probably pretty low on the glycemic index, too. Bringing these for Thanksgiving breakfast. YUM. Perfect! Not too sweet, and probably pretty low on the glycemic index, too.

They LOVE these! Not quite sweet enough for me, although I'll try them again with a cup of tea. But these will be a wonderful alternative to o nut cereal. If you make mini muffins they need 9-11 minutes. Just made these with my 2 year old for my 10 month old who needs more iron. They LOVE these!

I altered slightly to make vegan and added banana and zucchini that needed to find a home. The molasses really makes them moist and just sweet enough. Will make another batch to take to work-not enough left from original try ;-) Great recipe! I altered slightly to make vegan and added banana and zucchini that needed to find a home.
