That really depends on the recipe. In most recipes that call for molasses, leaving it out will change the flavor dramatically. Also if something is not substituted to replace the molasses, you may find the result lacking a sweetness. Often molasses can be replaced by half as much brown sugar, or even honey which results in a sweeter, less bitter taste. It can also be replaced by sorghum syrup, a substance similar in flavor to molasses, but made from sorghum grain as opposed the sugar cane.
