• Swap maple syrup with honey or agave nectar for a different sweetness profile.
• For a dairy-free option, try using coconut yogurt, but note the texture may vary slightly.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or lemon zest to the batter for extra flavor complexity.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred for its thicker texture, which helps the baked yogurt set properly. Using regular yogurt may result in a softer, less firm dessert.

How do I know when the baked yogurt is done?

The center should be set and no longer jiggly when you gently shake the dish. It will firm up a bit more as it cools.
