I'll ask again did the recipe get an update? If so I'd like to get it MINUS shortening. Thanks

I was so enthused about this recipe until I read the word "shortening". Can anybody suggest a healthy substitution for that awful stuff? I'm thinking applesauce would make it "too wet". What about 1/4 cup canola oil? Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA
