Hi Rachel. I am sorry to hear that. I will investigate more, but at the moment it is hard to buy rolled oats in my corner of the world.Golden syrup should work just as well as molasses. As for the bitterness – maybe it was not the molasses. It could also be the spices. Sometimes they might be overpowering – depending on a brand, how fresh they are, etc. Try use less of the gingerbread spice blend to see if that works. Hope this helps.

The amount of molasses in the recipe made my granola super dark and bitter. I’ve been looking up different types of molasses (light, dark and blackstrap) and ive gotta say I don’t believe I’ve ever seen light (colored) molasses. So I made some adjustments and I still need to tweak it some more to my taste. I would like to know your opinion on golden syrup as an alternative to the molasses. I think it might help hold the granola together better than my adjustment (2T molasses, 2 T honey and 2 T brown sugar instead of 6T of molasses). I’m really digging the gingerbread spice blend and have made the candied nuts a few times. I appreciate your advice on this when you can.
