In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Next, whisk the wet ingredients and mix with the dry until smooth.

I have used only olive oil or butter in this recipe and found that olive oil was the lightest option in this recipe. Maybe you can try fruit juice, but I don’t know how it will affect the texture. Sorry, can’t help :-(

This recipe sounds delicious! I am on a low calorie diet though. Can I substitute olive oil with anything lighter? Thanks!
