Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Molasses cookies are safe to eat during pregnancy in moderation, but they should be limited. Blackstrap molasses imparts natural non-heme iron and calcium, though the cookie base remains high in sugar and butter. The USDA Dietary Guidelines advise keeping added sweet treats infrequent to support healthy maternal blood sugar control. Eat one cookie as an occasional dessert and pair it with a glass of unsweetened plant milk.
