@tends2dogs Use melted butter...google for conversion for oil amt to teaspoons of butter...

NO oilive oil...it will give the brownies an odd flavor...LOL

@tends2dogs Substitute an equal amount of mayonnaise for the vegetable oil that the boxed mix indicates.

I would use the olive oil. I have before in a brownie recipe and they came out great!

I have used Bertollis Light Olive Oil in cakes and brownies. Light doesn’t mean low calorie, it means less olive taste. It does not have the deep olive flavor of extra virgin olive oil. It worked great. Butter will work but you have to let it get very soft.

How about coconut oil or grapeseed oil?

I always cut down on the fat in brownie mixes. The tend to be overly greasy otherwise. Doesn't see to affect the flavor or texture.

Applesauce. I use it in place of oil for less calories and more moistness.

Butter

Thanks to all that responded. I ended up using mayo and softened butter. Actually more mayo than buttter, but 2/3 cup total. It called for 2/3 cup of veg oil. They turned out great or so I was told. I don't eat sweets, but DH and my sister each had one a big one and said YUM.

I would use butter. California Ranch does make an olive oil specifically for baking. I like to use Safflower oil.

If you have some applesauce try half that half butter.

I would use the mayo for a substitute. Not olive oil for sure.
