Does Greek Yogurt swap equally for sour cream in a muffin recipe?

[carianna-in-wa]

I have 2 nectarines and just picked the last of the season's blackberries (In the rain! The things I do for my ungrateful teens.) to make these muffins tomorrow morning for breakfast. I don't have sour cream, but I have a ton of plain greek yogurt. Do they sub equally?http://www.scratchymama.com/2013/07/blackberry-nectarine-muffins.html

I always drain my yogurt...even the greek style. You can sub 1:1, but the texture

will be slightly different. More porous, but still tender.

Thanks to both of you. These are just for the girls, so they aren't too critical at 6:30 am.

Ha! Sounds like a go!

I always sub yogurt for sour cream in baking, & use lowfat & nonfat. I don't drain it, I just

mix it well. Everything turns out perfectly.

This heard at my breakfast table this morning...

(From the 17-year-old) "These are easily the best muffin I have ever had. WAY better than any blueberry muffin."

I about fell over.

From the original recipe I changed only a couple of things. Used 1 cup of blackberries (picked and froze them yesterday), 1 full cup of chopped nectarines (unpeeled), and subbed 1 for 1 greek yogurt for the sour cream. (Costco's generic brand, undrained) When they came out of the oven I brushed the tops with a little melted butter and sprinkled with sugar.

I swap buttermilk, yogurt and sour cream all the time, using whatever is in the fridge at the moment

nice

ditto. yogurt or s cream stirred into FF milk makes a good buttermilk sub.

I always sub buttermilk when a baked good calls for milk, yogurt or sourcream

Oops - this didn't address the questions; sorry for my confusion
