Is there something i can use in place of oil in things like cakes and muffins? Something that has less calories and fat.
Thanks for any help.

Honey you will have thee "Dryest" cake if you dont add oil..So, what I do, is use EVOO, because its the best kind of oil for your health, you can buy!! Its a bit pricey, but I spend those extra dollars, because its so worth it.. The EVOO, stands for Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and man does this oil make things taste so much better, and way less fat for you than all of these vegetable oil's.. Why do you think all of the people on the cooking channel, use it, because its' so "Good For Us!!" We're talking "Gormet Chef's " use Extra Virgin Olive Oil.. So, it's got to be good for you, in comparison to the cheap store brands or even vegetable oil's... Good luck to you!! Hope your cake turn's out nice and moist.. Also a tip, if you take your cake out a couple of minutes earlier than the recipe calls for, than you are going to have thee moistest cake ever!! Yummoliscious!!! Smile!!!

Use olive oil, its healthy for you.
The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies have shown that olive oil offers protection against heart disease by controlling LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels while raising HDL (the "good" cholesterol) levels. (1-3) No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated as olive oil -mainly oleic acid.
Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters (mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood.(4)
But while all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated fat, EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil, from the first pressing of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants, particularly vitamin E and phenols, because it is less processed.

Butter is normal and tastes wonderful, but we use oil to reduce calories
