Yogurt (Plain) — Frequently Asked Questions

245 grams of plain whole milk yogurt is exactly 1 US cup.
No. Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey, making it much denser. Plain Greek yogurt: approximately 280g per cup vs 245g for regular yogurt. Always use gram weights when precision matters.
Yes. For every cup (245g) of buttermilk, use 245g of plain yogurt. You can thin the yogurt slightly with 1–2 tablespoons of water if needed. Both are acidic and work the same way with baking soda to create lift.
Yes, as a direct 1:1 substitution by weight. Plain whole milk yogurt (245g/cup) and sour cream (230g/cup) behave similarly in baking and dips. Yogurt is slightly thinner and less tangy than sour cream.
Yes, as a partial substitution. Replace up to half the fat with an equal weight of plain yogurt. This reduces calories and fat while adding moisture and a slight tang. Full replacement can make baked goods too dense or gummy.
Yogurt’s acidity tenderises gluten strands, its water content adds moisture, and its protein content helps structure. The lactic acid also reacts with baking soda to create CO₂ bubbles, adding lift to quick breads and cakes.
