You can substitute olive oil for other cooking oils in most baked recipes, such as quick breads or brownies. Olive oil does have a stronger flavor than some other oils, which may affect the flavor of the baked product. You might want to try using half olive oil and half vegetable oil. Or, if it is the health benefits you are after, try using all canola oil. Canola oil has many of the health benefits that olive oil has, plus it is lighter in flavor.

I would not recommend using olive oil for baking as it has a strong flavor.  If you have a very weak olive oil then you can.  You can also substitute apple sauce for oil for a yummy fat free recipe.

Bake with olive oil - sure you can.  Other healthy oils that work well when heated are coconut oil and sesame oil - they both impart their own unique tastes though.
