Swaps or Alternatives
Greek yogurt– I used plain nonfat greek yogurt, but sour cream (light or regular) works too! With sour cream, you will have a creamy, rich taste without the tanginess of the greek yogurt.
Honey– You can use pancake syrup or maple syrup in place of honey if that is what you have in your pantry. Sugar-free variations will yield a lower-calorie sauce and slight maple taste!
BBQ sauce– This recipe uses the brand G Hughes, which helps keep the recipe low calorie. Feel free to use any brand or variation of BBQ sauce you would like. With unlimited options from hot and spicy to sweet honey or Carolina-style, you can’t go wrong!
