Messing with great baking recipes isn't always smart, but sometimes you can swap in yogurt for higher-fat ingredients to get tasty, smooth-textured treats. Here's a guide to when and how much to trade out.

You can't just swap in yogurt for any old fat in a recipe, but it can be used in varying amounts to tweak baked goods for better health. For instance:
When a recipe calls for butter, replace half the butter with half as much yogurt. For instance, instead of 1 cup butter, use 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup yogurt.
​
Note also that you can go cup-for-cup with yogurt in place of sour cream, and even switch it in for water or milk in recipes that could stand to be a bit thicker.
