What type of yoghurt do you use in muffin recipes?

[Norfolkbumpkin]

I am thinking of making some blueberry muffins using Nigella's recipe. She suggests using half yoghurt/half milk instead of buttermilk. Would it be natural yoghurt? Haven't made muffins before so this is all new to me.

[jooseyfruit]

yes natural yog.

[feedthegoat]

Yes just plain natural yoghurt. Her lemon and raspberry ones are fantastic too - I've never managed to cool a batch of those .

it's a good recipe, imo, but there are too many blueberries in it.

I'm thinking they might be a nice treat for dd who is 17 months, it gets quite expensive buying organix gingerbread men etc when I know I should have a go at making something myself!

The recipe says 200g of blueberries, but I have bought a 150g tub thinking this will do. Do you think this will be o.k. Aitch?

[AitchTwoOh]

totally, norfolk. 200 is far too many.
i use that recipe all the time, for any old crappy fruit i have lying around. in fact, i keep a few little pots of yog in the fridge specially.
i've used banana, rasps, raisins and cinnamon, that sort of thing. and dd at 3 is pretty proficient at mixing it up and doing the cases. (mine never rise as much as in the picture, i should confess, probably cos i'm so slapdash about it.)
