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

I like to eat greek yogurt with cinnamon or fresh fruit!
I love having greek yogurt with granola and fruit.
I like using greek yogurt inplace of sour cream in corn muffins!
I love putting yogurt in my breakfast smoothies!!
I have a lemon bundt cake I use it in and it is so good. An I’d love to try the pineapple in a pineapple-coconut bread. All of the classified flavors sound good.
I would to try your strawberry and cream coffee cake with cream cheese frosting… Mmmmmmmm
I’m not much for eating breakfast (I know I should) in the mornings so making a smoothie with the greek yogurt makes the smoothie a lot thicker and tastier and I find I can drink something in the mornings easier than eating something. I also like to just eat it right out of the container. The greek yogurt is so much thicker than the regular yogurt and I love it!
With berries, in a smoothie (with berries), frozen Greek yogurt, with berries! :)
I like to make dip for chips
I absolutely ADORE chobani! Before I tried Chobani pineapple when it first came out, I was vehemently anti-yogurt. Hated it. Then, I started reading how great greek yogurt was for you- and when I saw there was a pineapple flavor, I had to try it. I was pleasantly surprise and am now addicted.
One of my favorite breakfasts is to take a chobani and mix it into half of a cup of prepared oatmeal for a super nutritious start to my day. Sometimes I’ll use the fruit kinds (pear, banana, the berry flavors are particularly good like this) and add cinnamon OR I’ll take a plain chobani, mix in a spoonful of maple syrup, and cinnamon. So so yummy!
I love Chobani!! I would make this: https://bakingbites.com/2013/04/ultra-moist-banana-bundt-cake-with-greek-yogurt/
I do love my yogurt plain (or with berries and oats!), but I would also make my favorite (quick-to-make) pumpkin muffins: https://pinterest.com/pin/71002131596573538/
Our family loves Greek yogurt. Sometimes it’s hard to keep enough in the fridge. I would love to incorporate more in baked goods and these recipes sound like a delicious place to start. I use plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream in some of our dinners too.
make yogurt dots or freeze then throw in blender.
I use yogurt all the time. I prefer the plain, but do buy flavors for the family to eat. I use it in baking and cooking because I like the taste. I use it whenever sour cream is called for. I use it in deviled eggs instead of the mayonnaise. We top grilled vegetables or rice pilaf or borscht or cabbage rolls or fresh fruit or fried potatoes…the list is endless.
I now use it in my cooking (instead of sour cream) and for dressings (instead of mayo). Yum!
