Alternative to Margarine in Baking
Greek yogurt is the underdog of baking substitutions. It’s thick, creamy, and full of protein, which makes your cakes rise beautifully. Swap half the margarine for an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt.
Use it in pancakes, muffins, and coffeecakes. The tangy flavor actually enhances vanilla and chocolate. And you’ll feel like a wizard when your friends ask, “What’s the secret ingredient?”
Full-fat yogurt works best—non-fat makes things rubbery. And for the love of all things sugary, don’t use vanilla-flavored yogurt. It’s loaded with sugar and will make your recipe all wonky.
