no molasses

[extinctspecies]

what can I use instead?

it's for a baked beans recipe.

Extra sugar? or maple syrup?

Don't have any honey either.

Any sugar will work fine. Brown if possible. Molasses just gives a deeper and richer flavour and unlike most sugar is bursting with iron and nutrients so is actually good for you! In moderation anyway

black treacle - do you have any of that?

or you can try sugar and balsamic vinegar

Its basically black treacle if you have any of that?

Thanks. No treacle but plenty of brown sugar.

I use the darkest brown sugar I happen to have. A splash of Balsamic sounds tasty, I will give that a try.
