""Greek yogurt is a great substitute for oil as it bakes the most consistently as it relates to texture and flavor. For a normal batch, you'd use around ⅙ cup of Greek yogurt. The yogurt tends to keep things chocolatey and moist, and I like it because it preserves the texture since it is a little thicker and does not dry out the recipe as some other substitutes do.""
""From what I have seen and heard, the recipes often come out a bit on the drier and crumbly side. I prefer a thicker, fudgy brownie, and am not really a fan of cakey brownies, so I really like using substitutes that yield a similar result to a more traditional option like oil.""
Americans consume over 1.4 billion brownies annually. While oil is a common ingredient, alternatives exist for those seeking healthier options. Celebrity cake artist Kristina Lavallee recommends Greek yogurt as the best substitute, as it maintains the rich, fudgy texture and adds protein. For a standard batch, about ⅙ cup of Greek yogurt is ideal. Other substitutes like applesauce may lead to drier brownies, while melted butter can replace oil at a 1:1 ratio, providing a reliable option for traditional brownie recipes.
