25 Recipes Using Greek Yogurt and Chobani Giveaway

by Averie Sunshine on July 4, 2013

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.

25 Recipes Using Greek Yogurt - Get the Recipes at averiecooks.com

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

19. Strawberries and Cream Coffee Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze

I love using Chobani because their yogurt is high-quality, great tasting, and is made with only natural ingredients. It tastes great for eating, and I always get the results I’m looking for when I bake with it.

And their site has some so many fun and creative recipes.

For one lucky reader, Chobani will send you a case of their new Chobani Classified yogurt.
