Use mile of robust molasses for this recipe; blackstrap will taste too strong. If you like, you can add a cup of chopped nuts along with the raisins.

Scrape into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer with a spatula (the batter will be thick). Bake 40 to 45 minutes until lightly browned and firm, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool, then cut into shapes or bars. (If using a cookie cutter to cut shapes, trim the excess from around each shape and use a pancake turner to lift the shape from the pan.)
Enjoy!
