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

25. Pineapple Banana and Coconut Cream Smoothie (vegan, GF)

I love experimenting with greek yogurt in recipes. It is a great substitute! I also love greek yogurt by itself or mixed with fruit or honey or granola. Honey and Red Rasberry jelly is another great combo to mix with plain greek yogurt!
love chobani, I use it in smoothies, as a snack, in place of sour cream, etc. I can’t wait to see what the classified flavors are!
I would love to try some of these recipes! I already use greek yogurt when I make pancakes now! Don’t think I’ll ever go back!
greek yogurt is good in place of some oils in baking, great in smoothies, and just eating it plain or with fruit added!
I always have yogurt in the fridge for smoothies!
I use greek yogurt in place of sour cream on my baked potatoes! So delicious!!
I use it as my breakfast and mix it in with my favorite cereals.
I would make one of my family’s favorite recipes

Well now that you’ve posted so many beautiful recipes with yogurt I’d probably start with some of the ones on this page. I love incorporating it into banana or fruit breads. So delish. Thanks for sharing!

I just happened to pin this yesterday on Pinterest and was thrilled to see a giveaway was included. Thanks for the opportunity – all the recipes look delicious!
I love to eat it with apples as a dip.
This is my favourite go-to yogurt for eating straight, baking, or most recently I have been using 2/3 plain mixed w/1 part mayo for my tuna salad. Yum!
These recipes look amazing. I usually just have my yogurt with looks of cut up fresh fruit.
Sorry! That’s lots, not looks. Autocorrect strikes again.
Most of my yogurt gets eaten over fruit salad. delicious.
I’d love to try cooking with it because I’ve never done that, but most likely I’d use it mostly to pair with granola and fruit, my favorite breakfast!
