I want to make oatmeal muffins, but rather not use crisco ( shortening). I don't have applesauce, so I can't use that instead. What can I replace the crisco with, and still have soft moist muffins?
Appreciate any quick replies bec my kids want to bake already! 😄

less oil than the crisco amounts

if you mean to make them healthier what about coconut oil or coconut milk

Yes I meant to make them healthier. Dh and I don't like coconut.
Will oil change their texture?

I don't think coconut oil has that strong a taste when baking ... but that's my opinion

Refined coconut oil does not have a coconut taste

Oh I didn't know, but anyhow I don't have it here. Only crisco, margarine, butter or oil- looking for the healthiest one that won't ruin the texture

just bake them already

crisco and margarine are definitely significantly worse than butter or oil. But muffins are not a healthy item in general.

I'm prob too late but the official substitute for shortening is margarine and water. But muffins shouldn't call for shortening - they'll be moister with oil.
