I’m sure that from the title of this recipe your first instinct was to think “Oh, that’s got Chobani in it!” right? Hehe, I thought so.
It does. Of course. I’ve found that Chobani really is a perfect compliment to so many recipes I love. Especially ones that tend to be a little less friendly to those of us watching our calorie intake. Substituting a cup of Greek yogurt for a cup of cream can mean the difference between 41 grams of saturated fat or not – and several hundred calories. (And roughly half that difference when you substitute it for whole milk.)
I decided to experiment with flavors here and this won…and I’m willing to bet that the next time I make it, adding pistachios will happen. (I’m a huge fan of a cup of blood orange Cho and some pistachios.)
If you haven’t already seen them, don’t forget to check out the recipes for Buttered Pecan Vanilla Cranberry Sauce and Brown Butter Vanilla Pecan Pie I posted yesterday, too. I’m on a Thanksgiving rampage, of course.
I hope you all have a beautifully relaxing and peaceful Thanksgiving! I know that tomorrow will be just another day I’m thankful for everything in my life, including those of you who have supported me. I’m truly grateful.

Girl, Blood Orange Chobani is my FAVORITE flavor! Pinning and making asap! Thanks!
It’s my favorite flavor, too! Try it alone with 1/4 cup of pistachios. Ohmigod.
Just pinned this & planning to make it soon! Yummm
These look wonderful!!
Don’t have almond flour but I think I’ll try just using 2 cups of whole wheat flour – can’t wait to try!
I haven’t tried it with all whole wheat flour. The almond meal helps with the fluffiness and gives it a little added flavor.
Brillant! They look amazing, perfect breakfast for my kids when we are rushing out the door.
These look great! We don’t have Chobani where I’m from!
That’s a travesty! They need to get on that!
DROOL!!! MUST MAKE THESE! I LOVE using Chobani too, in any recipe I possibly can. Such flavor and moisture and so versatile!!
Exactly, and if you’re trying to watch your sugar intake on a daily basis (like me), adding it to recipes rather than eating a full cup alone is a great way to do that.
I have Cho alone about two times a week. 
Ooh what a cool idea with the Cho!!
Come make me muffins! Thanks in advance
They look delicious, girl!
These look wonderful! So funny that “Blood Orange” is totally synonymous with Chobani. In fact, we could have sworn that it was already in the title! haha
Have a very happy Thanksgiving.

Hahahaha, most of my recipes probably should have “Chobani” in the title.
Happy Thanksgiving, girl!
i’m not a big fan of the blood orange.. i mean i like it.. but i like a lot of other flavors more. i love the idea of substituting yogurt to make it healthier! (:
This looks so yummy and I love Chobani blood orange too! Can’t wait to make these. So, sub for almond flour? Do you think coconut or quinoa flour would work?
These were delicious! I used Stevia instead of regular sugar. Do you know the nutritional info on these?
