Story
|
My Grandma and Mom always had molasses in the cupboard because it's full of iron and tastes good. Before everything we ate was "fortified with iron", we had to find iron in our whole foods. We would pour molasses right on a slice of bread and eat it like that. Molasses has a really strong flavor and doesn't suit everyone. This muffin has just the right amount for sweetness and "zing" and has the bran we need too! It's a great on-the-go-breakfast, so I keep some on hand all the time!
