   * **Reduce Eggs**: Use **1 egg instead of 2**. Eggs add structure and lift, so reducing them will make the final product denser.
   * **Add Fat**: Increase the oil slightly. Use **½ cup + 2 tablespoons** of oil instead of the standard ½ cup. This will create a fudgier texture.
-  * **Add Milk or Cream**: Add **2–3 tablespoons of milk, cream, or non-dairy milk** to the batter for extra moisture.
+  * **Add Milk or Cream**: Add **2–3 tablespoons of milk, cream, non-dairy milk, or Greek yogurt (preferably plain full fat)** to the batter for extra moisture.
   * **Reduce Baking Time Slightly**: Bake at the same temperature, but check for doneness **5–10 minutes earlier** than the recipe suggests. A fudgy result will still be slightly moist in the center when done.
   * **Optional: Add Chocolate Flavor**: Mix in **2 tablespoons of cocoa powder** to enhance the chocolatey flavor and complement the pumpkin.
 ==== Chocolate Chip Additions ====
   * Add **¾ to 1 cup of chocolate chips** (semi-sweet or dark chocolate work best). Fold them into the batter at the end to ensure even distribution.
