Olive oil has both a lower smoking point and a stronger flavor. I would leave it - it's probably fine.

but I'd also say that you can probably just use the vegetable oil you have and that would be enough. That is, if you really are pretty close.
A cup sounds like a lot of veggie oil!!!!

5. Well I only use olive oil so I know it will work |
|
keep in mind the flavor is a bit strong but since you're using just a little you probably won't notice. Also, you can use pumpkin (canned)or applesauce in place of the oil

8. If it's premium virgin olive oil, don't do it. |
|
If it's very light you could add a little without ruining your brownies. Otherwise I'd go with the applesauce suggestion.

9. Use melted butter or margerine. BUT NOT REAL HOT... |
|
...or it cooks the eggs. SERIOUSLY. Works every time.

11. Olive oil has a very distinctive taste - |
|
if you're just topping it off should be OK, but be warned it may slightly change the taste of your brownies - I've done it. :hi:

12. ok i just finished and i ended up using about 1 oz. of olive oil and the brownies are baking |
|
at a fairly low temp 325f so hopefully they'll taste ok. I cut up some lindor milk chocolate truffles and put them in the mix as well.

13. Sounds yummy - I think they'll be fine. |
|
When I substituted olive oil I used more than you and even though I could tell, no one else did. They gobbled them up without a clue. :hi:

14. I wouldn't ever use a recipe for brownies that required veggie oil. |

That just sounds awful. I would suggest this recipe, it's brilliant and literally *is* the perfect brownie. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/108346
