Yes, or any solid fat. Butter, margarine, peanut butter, lard even. Any nut butter will make it healthier. You can experiment with replacing half the fat with apple sauce if you want to try something new. I would reduce the sugar by 25% and reduce any liquids by 25%. Maybe even the temp. Depends on which type of oven I'm using.
