Light, Dark and Blackstrap Molasses
Light molasses is generally sweeter and milder. Dark molasses has a stronger flavor, while blackstrap molasses is darker, less sweet and more concentrated.
Their densities can vary slightly, so 1.45 grams per milliliter should be treated as a practical general conversion rather than an exact value for every product.
Molasses vs Honey
Both are dense liquid sweeteners, but molasses is generally slightly heavier by volume. In this converter, one cup of molasses weighs 348 grams, while one cup of honey weighs approximately 341 grams.
They also differ considerably in flavor, acidity and sweetness, so replacing one with the other can change the finished recipe.
Measuring Molasses Accurately
- Use a kitchen scale when the recipe specifies grams.
- Lightly coat the measuring utensil with oil when easier release is helpful.
- Scrape the cup or spoon to transfer the complete amount.
- Measure the correct type of molasses specified by the recipe.
