Molasses VS. Honey?!
Molasses VS. Honey?
should i just use molasses or vanilla, since honey is an animal based product?, or is there any honey out there that is vegan?
Answers:
maple syrup is better out of the two. it also has less calories than molasses and honey just isnt vegan.
Molasses
I think the bees are happy to do what they do so I eat honey- it sure as heck doesn't harm the environment or pollute!
But... try barley malt.
Vanilla won't replace honey. Molasses is too sweet in my opinion. Agave nectar is a natural product vegans often use to replace honey, but it can be hard to find and rather expensive. Although actually it's not really any more expensive than good honey. Usually, I use maple syrup, rice syrup, or evaporated cane juice/turbinado sugar to replace honey in recipes.
honey has a TON of health benefits...you should eat it...molasses is not very good for you
If you don't mind maple taste...then try getting pure organic maple syrup....I like it.
I would say Molasses cz honey is maybe from Bees and the whole process of the honey making process is just plain "Nasty"!!!
Neither of those is good for replacing honey. Vanilla extract has the wrong taste, consistency, and potency, and molasses is extremely strong, somewhat bitter, and doesn't taste much like honey.
Agave nectar and (to a lesser extent) brown rice syrup both have a similar taste and consistency to honey. I've even seen "imitation honey" sold in Target which even has the same color/opacity. Date syrup is also pretty close if you can find it -- it's what was traditionally drizzled on baklava before honey was more highly favored.
I LIKE HONEY BETTER!
