Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of yogurt or substitute it with a non-dairy option?
Yes, you can use any flavored yogurt you prefer, including Greek yogurt for added richness. If you want a non-dairy option, choose a plant-based yogurt that has a similar consistency and flavor profile to your chosen yogurt.
How should I store leftover yogurt cupcakes?
Store the leftover yogurt cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap or foil before freezing.
What should I do if my cupcakes are dense or not rising properly?
If your cupcakes come out dense, ensure that your self-rising flour is fresh and still effective. Make sure not to overmix the batter, as that can lead to more density. If you're using a flavored yogurt that is particularly thick, consider adding a tablespoon of milk to the batter for additional moisture.
