I need to make muffins with as little cholestral as possible. how can I alter the butter in this receipe for say Becel oil.I would also be using break-free natural egg. Thanks

For replacing the eggs, add liquid egg as it measures on the carton. ie 1 egg equals 2 tbsps. of liquid egg substitute. As for the becil, just omit the butter and add oil, but less milk.
