substitution

[jeanne1209]

I like the receipe for Classic Banana Bread, however, we do not use yougert in our home. could someone give me a substitute for this to use not only in this recipe but in others that call for this ingredient? thanks

I believe that you can almost always sub buttermilk for yogurt and vice versa. I haven't made this recipe but I also think in a lot of quick bread recipes, you can sub sour cream.

Buttermilk would the be best sub. Or, for every cup of yogurt you could combine 1 Tbsp with a cup of regular milk and allow it to sit a few minutes. I've also seen blended cottage cheese used in place of yogurt. You can use sour cream, but that will drastically increase the fat content.

Just adding that I think funniegrrl meant to type 1 Tablesppon of lemon juice mixed with regular milk. I have subbed fat free or low fat sour cream for yogurt in baked goods with success, as I usually have sour cream on hand.

oops yer right Chelle! 1 Tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar with 1 cup regular milk ...

*we now return you to your regularly scheduled program*

Not if you used low fat or fat free sour cream, which I have successfully used in the past in other bread recipes.

True -- I never thnk of fat-free because I think that stuff is just nasty, and I'm not the pickiest eater on the planet. I do use reduced-fat, but I'd still rather not add that when fat-free yogurt, buttermilk, etc. is an option.

thanks all who suggested butter milk or sour creal... I always have low fat sour cream and glad to know I can use that.....
