I'm making chili for dinner and want to make some corn muffins to go with it. I don't have any vegetable oil. Do I substitute olive oil (extra virgin), cocount oil, applesauce (no sugar added) or something else?

Olive oil.

Butter. Duh! I blame it on a nap/sleep boycotting toddler messing with my sleep.

Thanks ladies!

Solid fat gives a better texture in baked goods than liquid fat does. So butter or coconut oil would be best. And depending on the type of olive oil, you might get a weird olivey aftertaste.

I haven't used sunflower oil. But with cakes and breads I get a much better texture and mouth feel with coconut oil than a liquid oil. Just sayin.
