I thought this sounde4d interesting but made it as a breakfast pudding rather than dessert. I changed it a bit to suit my tastes, I did a half batch, not a ginger fan so left it out & also left out the sugar as I thought the molasses would be sweet enough for me. To jazz it up a bit I also added a handful frozen mixed berries. Served it warm with some vanilla yoghurt for a very tasty brekky. Thanks!

Yum! This is definitely comfort food. The pudding part was very creamy, and it had a very mild flavor. If you like strong foods, you'd have to increase the sugar and add some spices. I'll be keeping this one--thanks, bshemyshua!

I love recipes like this and it sounded interesting. I added raisins and my family loved it. I think when we get back to basics, we are getting back to some of the best. Thanks for posting!!
