alternatives to molasses

[veganbuzzcock]

i'm just wondering if anyone knows alternatives to molasses in cooking? i don't really like the taste of it, but i really want to bake pumpkin cookies from "vegan with a vengeance" and it calls for 2 tablespoons. thanks!

id think anything with a similar consistancy thats sweet would be a good substitute..

so...

agave nectar?

or make a thick sugar water with cane sugar??

you could probably even leave it out, or just add some raw sugar instead.

or maple syrup!

btw, if you did use molasses you probably wont even taste it; 2tbsp isnt allot.

:D
