Baking is a chemical process, much more so than cooking. In order to get the rising action, certain things have to happen, and playing with all the ingredients if you're not a baker is liable to get your crumby results.
That being said, oils and fats in moderation are perfectly healthy.
I've made chocolate chip cookies with banana for the egg and lowfat coconut milk to replace both the milk and the oil, before to arguably mixed results. They tasted great, although they didn't rise very much; more flat and chewy than the kinds of cookies you get in a store, for instance, although that could be common for homemade chocolate chip cookies (that was my first time making any). Either way, it might be worth trying. I know coconut milk (even lowfat) is still not the healthiest stuff, but I find that the higher fat content works well for baking and ad least it doesn't leave behind an oily texture
