[NMDemDist2]

oil and I only had 1/2 cup of canola, so I put olive oil in for the rest

Italian brownies anyone?

1. They'll be fine.

Did you add walnuts ?

3. I bake w/ olive oil more than I let on to anyone.

Even my Mom (100% Italian) claims she can taste it but she only notices it when I tell her it's there. This is the lady who can tell if I salted the pasta water enough even after the pasta has been well sauced.

4. whew! thanks!

cuz they SMELL sooooo good! hehehe

6. I can't believe it's not noticeable

unless it's a very light olive oil. I always use olive oil to cook most things, but never in baking.

11. Well, I don't use it in delicate recipes

But I've used it in rum cake, pizzeles and quick breads. So far so good.

12. triple fudge brownies with chocolate chunks and walnuts wouldn't

be mistaken for "delicate" any day of the week LOL

but they came out fine and taste yummy

[Hans Delbrook]

13. No, not delicate just delish! nt

[HEAVYHEART]

14. Now I want brownies!!! n/t

[imenja]

5. wow, I wouldn't have done it

you'll have to let us know how they taste.

[NMDemDist2]

7. they actually are great

no different

[imenja]

8. great

Did you use a very light olive oil? I usually have extra virgin, cold pressed, in the house.

[NMDemDist2]

9. nope, not extra virgin, not light

just regular old olive oil

[imenja]

10. so it's milder than what I use

so I can see how it might work. Obviously it did for you.
