How to Measure Yogurt in Cups
Regular plain yogurt can be measured in a liquid measuring cup — pour and read at eye level on a flat surface for 245 grams per cup. Greek yogurt is thick enough to require a dry measuring cup — spoon in and level off for 280 grams per cup.
The distinction between yogurt types matters when converting: using Greek yogurt where regular yogurt is called for adds 35 grams per cup — enough to noticeably affect the texture of muffins, cakes, and sauces. Use the calculator above to get the exact weight for your yogurt type.
Pro tip: For baking, full-fat yogurt produces the most tender, moist results. Non-fat yogurt has slightly less fat and may require small recipe adjustments to achieve the same richness.
