I love using Greek yogurt in my cooking and baking. It helps my baked goods turn out moist, soft, and fluffy.
With rare exception, I use it interchangeably with sour cream. It’s thick and rich like sour cream, but isn’t as much of a caloric lead balloon.
Almost all cake, muffin, and quickbread batters benefit from it. Here are 25 Recipes that Use Greek Yogurt:
1. Six-Banana Banana Bread – Six bananas are packed into one loaf for full-on banana flavor and this loaf ties with the loaf below for my overall favorite banana bread recipe
2. Banana Bread with Vanilla Browned Butter Glaze – Vanilla is used four times in this straightforward, easy recipe that never lets me down. It turns out moist and perfect every time
3. Spiced Apple Banana Bundt Cake with Vanilla Caramel Glaze – The glaze on this cake is my favorite glaze or frosting that I have on my entire site. It’s crazy good.
4. Pumpkin Banana Bread with Browned Butter Cream Cheese Glaze
5. Carrot Pineapple Banana Bread with Browned Butter Cream Cheese Frosting – What you’d get if banana bread met carrot cake. Full of bits of carrots, pineapple, raisins, yogurt and it’s moist and soft beyond words
6. Banana Zucchini Pudding Cake with Vanilla Browned Butter Glaze – A moist, dense, easy cake that’s falling-apart-soft and tender from the pudding. Golden, buttery, sweet and full of little bits of texture with a delightful glaze to top it off
7. Banana Bread Brownies with Browned Butter Cream Cheese Frosting – If you crossed the most decadent, rich, fudgy, moist brownie with a soft loaf of banana bread, this is it
8. Pineapple Coconut Oil Banana Bread – Buttermilk or Greek yogurt, bananas & coconut oil keep this bread super moist, tender & so soft it’s bouncey
9. Banana Yogurt Muffins and Little Banana Bread Loaf
10. Zucchini Banana Bread with Browned Butter Cream Cheese Frosting
11. Cinnamon and Spice Sweet Potato Bread – One of my favorite quickbread recipes on my site. If you like sweet potatoes or pumpkin recipes, try this bread
12. Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache – My favorite chocolate cake recipe. No mixer, one bowl, so easy
13. Blueberry Yogurt Cake with Lemon Vanilla Glaze
14. Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting
15. Cinnamon-Sugar Crust Cinnamon-Ribbon Bread – You can use half Greek yogurt and half buttermilk in this easy, moist bread that’s made for cinnamon lovers
16. Chocolate Molasses Chocolate Chip Cake with Baileys Irish Cream Glaze
17. Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache – Moist, rich, easy, and one of my favorite cakes of all time. The cake itself is reminiscent of a yellow cake mix-cake meets pumpkin cake. It’s springy, ultra moist, and chocolate is used in abundance
18. Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake with Cream Cheese Glaze – Tastes like a big cinnamon roll, minus any of the work
19. Strawberries and Cream Coffee Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze
20. Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting
21. Baked Parsnip Fries with Creamy Balsamic Reduction Dip
Add a dollop of Greek yogurt to any smoothie to boost the creaminess and protein
22. Coconut Cream Pie Smoothie (vegan, GF)
23. Pineapple Mango Vitamin C Booster Smoothie (vegan, GF)
24. Cinnamon Raisin Bread Smoothie
25. Pineapple Banana and Coconut Cream Smoothie (vegan, GF)

I love Greek Yogurt! I’ve never had parsnip fries but love anything balsamic, so I’d love to try this: https://www.averiecooks.com/2012/11/baked-parsnip-fries-with-creamy-balsamic-reduction-dip.html, but I also really would love that cinnamon roll coffee cake!
Great round-up, Averie, and have a fun holiday :)
I would make some frozen yogurt out of greek yogurt. It had such wonderful creaminess that adds a punch to any froyo recipe!
I love yogurt! My fridge is always half full! I want to try it in your Blueberry Yogurt Cake!
I would just eat them straight out of the container! My favorite way to enjoy Chobani!
I love using yogurt in quick breads, too. It also makes a great mayo substitute for cold salads!
I love Chobani!! All these recipes look delish . . . I definitely need to try the carrot pineapple banana bread!!
I LOVE using greek yogurt in my recipes. I almost always swap it for sour cream and mayo. All these recipes look so good Averie!
Happy 4th of July!
I’d make the Arroz con Pollo (Chicken with Rice) featured on the Chobani website: https://chobani.com/kitchen/recipes/arroz-con-pollo-chicken-with-rice/
I love chobani! I use it in baking and cooking all the time. Hoping to make a trip to the chobani in SoHo very soon;)
I made a DELICIOUS banana bread with the banana chobani a couple weeks ago! Love that it adds flavor without a lot of fat.
I think trying to make cheesecake with Chobani would be great…so many flavors to try!
I love eating Chobani Greek Yogurt every morning! Raspberry and Strawberry Banana are my favorites. Making smoothies with it and parfaits are also delicious!
I love using it to make a dipping sauce for tacos or fries!
We love Chobani!!! Use it to eat by itself and in all kinds of recipes…dips, muffins, cakes, salad dressings, the list is endless!!
