Using Greek Yogurt Instead of Eggs

Greek yogurt is more than just a thick white substance in a plastic cup.  In fact, greek yogurt can be used to substitute eggs in baking.  Greek yogurt contains similar acidic properties to eggs, making it perfect for replacing them.  Eggs provide moisture in baking, and more importantly, leavening, which coincidently is what Greek yogurt does too.  Not only is Greek yogurt healthier than eggs, but it also can be used in its skinniest form with no fat.  To substitute eggs with Greek yogurt, simply measure out a 1/4 cup of yogurt per every one egg.  Start off with only replacing one egg at a time to see how much manipulation your recipe can take.  Use plain yogurt when baking, because you do not want strawberry greek yogurt in your white cake (or do you?).
