So, yes, you can substitute molasses for corn syrup. Just remember: molasses is the bold friend who loves to take center stage. Treat it with respect, adjust your liquids, and embrace the darker, richer result.
Go ahead and try it. Make a batch of molasses-sweetened brownies or a sticky ginger cake. If things get too dark or too sweet, just add a pinch of salt and a splash of milk. That’s the cook’s secret. You’ve got this.
Happy baking, and may your pantry always have a backup star.
