Molasses can be substituted measure-for-measure with other liquid sweeteners like maple syrup and honey, Judy. It gets trickier when substituting a liquid sugar for granulated sugar however. In general, you can use a generous 3/4 cup of liquid sweetener (like molasses) for 1 cup of sugar and reduce the liquid by 3-4 tablespoons (or add an additional 3-4 tablespoons of flour if there's no liquid added in your recipe). For the basic muffins recipe, you can try using 1/3 cup of molasses and 3/4 cup of milk to see if you like the texture of the muffins. Some liquid sugars tend to caramelize faster than granulated sugar, so check for doneness about 5-10 minutes early. Happy baking! Kye@KAF
