  1. I’m wondering if anyone has used Blackstrap molasses in this recipe? I am curious it gives a more “deep” flavor, if you know what I mean?

  2. I love making my own brown sugar, among other things. Rather make my own and know what is in it. Than, buying it with all those other ingredients, that I can’t even pronounce. All natural for me.
