How can I use up 7 pots of yoghurt?

I have 7 x 125g pots of yoghurt in the fridge. 3 of which expire today.

Any ideas?

You can use yogurt in muffins, cakes, scones and loaves etc, have a google for recipes

Aha of course, silly me.

I am going to try this one, but with orange as I have no lemons.

yoghurt doesn't really EXPIRE like that, it's already EXPIRED really, it's gone off milk I use yoghurts weeks after their 'expiry' date

I nicked this from the BLW forum:

Broccoli & Cheese Muffins (copied over from the Blog)

Makes 12 regular or 24 mini muffins

(The conversions are mine and may be a bit dodgy - adjust at will!)

200g broccoli (1 small - med head)
1 1/2 cups plain yoghurt (360 ml)
1/4 cup oil (olive or corn or your choice) (50ml)
1 large egg
50g cheese (I use a bit more than 50g ? prob nearly double the qty)
2 cups self-raising flour (225g)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup skimmed milk if required. (50 ml)

Preheat oven to 200 C or 190 for fan ovens. Put rack just below middle of oven.

Cook broccoli (boiled or steamed until tender).

Mix yoghurt, oil & egg well together. Add broccoli and roughly crumble in the cheese. Put mixture in food processor and pulse in short bursts until no large pieces of broccoli left. Try not to puree the broccoli but just chop it finely. (I do it all by hand. I chop the broccoli finely on a chopping board and mix everything by hand, Works equally well!)

Put flour & salt in a big bowl and mix together with a fork. Pour in the liquid mixture and begin to fold together. If you think the mixture looks too dry add the extra milk and fold JUST enough to combine. (The key is not to over-mix it - it should look pretty lumpy and unappetizing!)

Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray. Using two spoons divide the mixture evenly between the pans.

Bake for 12/15 minutes or until golden-brown and centres spring back when pressed. Let the muffins cool in the pans for 2-3 minutes before tipping out.

A yummy adult version or for older kids is to use a creamy blue cheese instead of cheddar.

They're really delicious and DS loves them!

Oh, and they freeze well too.

Steaknife · 16/04/2009 10:24

See your point MP.

Cyteen - would you believe no broccoli or cheese in the cupboard, but saving that one for when there is.

No cheese? French police will be round with your deportation order missy

Bluestocking · 16/04/2009 10:26

Agree with MP, it won't actually "go off" for weeks.

Nah finished some stinky stuff last night. REkon we have a day's grace before we have to do the shopping.

I know this is a bit late but you can freeze it and then combine it with fruit in a blender later and make a (slightly) healthier milk-shake. Lovely for breakfast or on a hot afternoon.

Or make frozen yoghurt?
