Now that I make my own yogurt with my hand dandy Salton yogurt maker, I have begun to substitute yogurt for oil and butter in baking recipes.
See Yogurt for Lower-Fat Baking at Taste of Home. These do not wholly substitute yogurt for oil or butter.
Here are recipes for Cranberry Yogurt Muffins , Lemon Honey Muffins, and Whole Grain Banana Muffins with no oil or butter. Yogurt(and apple sauce in some of these) completely replaces the oils. More: Whole Wheat Maple Quick Bread, Ginger Biscuits , and Walnut Wheat Bread
You can find butter extract flavoring in the spice aisle at the grocery to give baking without butter more flavor. I have not tried this but may if I can find it.

Does it effect the taste? I love the taste of butter in baked goods. :-) May explain my waistline, lol.
I don't think anything can replace the taste of all butter(Yum!) in recipes, but this is still good. I use it in muffins, and it tastes about the same as canola oil.
Mmm, I wonder if this will work in the chocolate microave cup cake recipe thing which I've sen all over the web in recent months? The recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of oil. For one person that seems a HUGE amount of fat.
I have used applesauce in place of half the oil in carrot cake and some muffin recipes and that works well. Looking forward to trying the yoghurt too!
oh boy! I wish I liked yogurt but I can't stand the stuff:(..I have tried and tried to gain a taste for it but it's no good. But the good thing is..I am not overly fond of icecream either..just as well;).
I also find that food with rich creams makes me feel sick..So perhaps its simply a low tolerance for all things milky? Dunno.
Peace to you Alexandra:)
