Tips:

  • Use the best quality blackstrap molasses you can find. Look for unsulphured and organic options.
  • Make sure your baking soda is fresh. Old baking soda will not react properly and your muffins will not rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. Overfilling will cause the muffins to rise too much and spill over.
  • Bake the muffins for the full amount of time. Underbaked muffins will be dense and gooey.

Conclusion:

These healthy black strap molasses muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are easy to make. Whether you are looking for a healthy breakfast option or a tasty snack, these muffins are sure to please.
