These look delicious! Though I don’t think I’ve ever seen lemon yogurt in the store… maybe it could be replace by vanilla yogurt and more lemon juice? Also some lemon zest on top to serve would be lovely:-)
I think you could definitely use plain yogurt and extra lemon juice. There is one brand in my store that always carries lemon flavor and then it’s hit or miss on the other brands. Let me know how yours turn out.
These burned on me. I think 400 was too high of a temp in my nonstick muffin tin. But if you get through the burnt exterior the inside is delish! Sort of taste like a cross between a lemon square and cake. So I will definitely be making these again- trying 350 instead.
Mine burned also at 400. I also felt that they were a little dense. Other than those two things, I thought the taste was good and my daughter devoured the non burned parts!
i tried baking at 350 and they still burned. even the ones that i got out before burning were too tough around the edges. i won’t be making these again.
I’m sorry you had such trouble. Are you at a high altitude? I know sometimes that can affect baking temps/times.
We made these this morning with only one substitute since I didn’t have lemon yogurt in the house. We used a cup of Pineapple Chobani yogurt instead, and they were delicious!!! My 6&7 y/o love them, too!
Oh, and we also lowered the temp to 350 after reading the other reviews!
