It depends on what type of muffins you're baking. Extra virgin olive oil is the most flavorful of olive oils, being the product of the first pressing of the olives; therefore, it has a very distinct, olive-like flavor. So, if you're making sweet muffins, it would be better to use canola or vegetable oil. Those oils don't really have much flavor, and won't affect the taste. But, if you're making muffins that are heartier (using bran or granola or nuts, and very little, if any, sugar/fruit), then olive oil may be an interesting flavor to add.
it would not be as soft otherwise its the same.
Extra virgin olive oil is from the first pressing, which is what squeezes the oil out. Virgin olive oil is from the second pressing, and so on down to regular old olive oil.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Extra virgin olive oil is the first oil pressed from the olive. So for that type of olive, it may be called the best. I'm sure you could find some type of olive you don't like, in which case its extra virgin won't be as good to you as regular of some other type.
Olive oil (the same kind) can be used for both cooking and salad dressings. The best to use - especially for salads - is extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has the highest olive flavor. Regular olive oil is light in flavor, and extra light has very little olive flavor.
Regular olive oil isn't as purified or as good as extra virgin. Extra virgin is sweeter, and does better in recipes than regular olive oil. Extra virgin is from the first pressing of the olives. Regular comes later after the olives are pressed again and a lot of the olive taste is no longer in the oil. Extra virgin oil is a bit stronger, say if you were making thick cookies, it would be a lot better because if you use regular olive oil the cookies would most likely stick to the pan. Answer 2: Olive oil is the Mediterranean's liquid gold and since oil flows from the olives without need of additives or any chemical process, all of the oil's natural qualities, flavor and aroma are preserved. Only extra virgin olive oil and virgin olive oil are direct extractions from the fruit. Refined, or common olive oil and olive pomace oil are chemically treated to neutralize strong flavors.
Extra virgin olive oil is healthier
If you use clear or "light", or extra light olive oil then yes you can. Do Not use virgin, extra virgin or pomace oil as these will impart an undesireable taste.
