Need help fast...can I substitute olive oil for vegetable oil when making muffins from muffin mix?

would not be a good idea the muffins would taste like olive oil... you can substitute butter.. but if you have spread or margarine it would be better just melt it in microwave dish until you have the same amount that the recipe calls for ... hope this helps.... ohhh yeah spread works better because it contains more vegetable oil than margarine :)Need help fast...can I substitute olive oil for vegetable oil when making muffins from muffin mix?
You can use olive oil, EEVO, or other. It will change the flavor, however. If you are planning to use butter or margarine, melt it so you have a liquid measure. It will also change the flavor a bit, I prefer it.





If you are making fruit flavored muffins and will be using EEVO, add some lemon zest, if it is available. It will bring our the fruity flavors without overpowering them and cover up the flavor change of the EEVO.





If you are going to use real butter, the best type to use in baking is sweet butter, that is the unsalted kind, but either can be used.

Hi


It all depends on the oil/brand. All olive oils are not the same.


If it is a lite olive oil it should be alright.. If the olive oil you have isn't to strong smelling or tasting it you shouldn't have a problem.


Some olive oils have a very strong taste. I wouldn't use them.





Good luck.
You should never use olive oil in any cake recipes. Do you have any Crisco that you could melt? You can also use melted butter with the same measurements called for if you were to use the oil. Good Luck
NO!!! do not do it it will not taste the same olive oil is meant for cooking in a pan not for baking olive oil is better for you but do not put it in your muffin mix
NO, NO, NO, NEVER, NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!





THE RESULT WILL TASTE VILE!!!





If you don't have cooking oil, substitute butter or margarine, not olive oil.





Doc
For the small amount you'll use, the difference in viscosity and taste should result in little difference.
Yes... it's healthier... you can even add equal parts of olive oil and apple sause for a healthier alternative
i have done it---i have also used peanut oil-----
as long as it's not e.v.o.o. (xtra virgin) that could make your muffins taste funny. not necisarily, but it COULD.
it will make them heavier like a muffin...use applesauce or any fruit pureed. even pumpkin will work.
I'm not sure, but i think its would be fine if you tried it.
yes, better for you.
