Can I substitute blackstrap molasses for mild in a baked bean recipe if
I maybe add some maple syrup? The recipe calls for 1/2 mild molasses
for a pound of beans.

You can substitute it w/o adding maple syrup.... they are
interchangeable for me. What are your other ingredients?

Practice safe eating. Always use condiments.

You can, but you won't like it. You would be better off substituting
dark brown sugar, then add blackstrap a teaspoon at a time if you think
it needs more oomph.

Certainly. I keep a bottle of blackstrap around for just that purpose.
