BC, AB, ON. Same as you, brown bread = whole wheat. Not sure I've even heard of molasses-sweetened bread, let alone eaten it.

It’s made with ungodly amounts of molasses. My grandmother used to make it with lard or shortening, yikes.

    I would note that's a recipe on a molasses website. My family recipe uses one quarter cup of molasses, which is ~48g sugar in two loaves. Leave the spoonful of sugar out your morning coffee and you'll be even with the sugar in your couple slices of toast.

    Molasses has a lot of minerals in it, and the notion that eating fat makes you fat is a lie purpitrated by big sugar/grain that has lead to a lot of diabetes and heart desease, your grandmother knew where it was at! Also Big Sugar is an underrated band from Canada IMO

      That isn’t just fat, it’s heavily saturated fat. Lard in particular is nasty stuff.

      And yeah molasses has minerals in it … and a ton of sugar. It’s no health food.

      I’ve loaded up on this stuff as a kid. You’re basically eating cake. That’s fine for a treat, not for eating every day.

    I bet you knew it was a treat, though. Compare to some folks’ daily sugar cereal diet… I dunno, unhealthy habits are usually unhealthy because they are habits.
