Replacing Shortening in a Muffin Recipe?
I have found a fantastic banana muffin recipe that uses 5 bananas for a dozen muffins. I am eager to try it, but it calls for vegetable shortening, which I want to avoid. I would like to use canola oil if possible to reduce the saturated fat. How do I swap shortening for oil?

I've done that lots of times with good results. Just substitute an equal amount of oil.

I've successfully substituted olive oil.
And I recently substituted butter and liked the flavor even better. |

We use Earth Balance's non-hydrogenated shortening. It's mostly palm oil.
