    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1                cup  walnut halves -- (4 oz)
    2               cups  all-purpose flour
       1/2      teaspoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
       3/4           cup  sugar -- plus
    2        tablespoons  sugar
    2              large  eggs
       1/2           cup  vegetable oil
       1/2           cup  fat-free plain Greek yogurt
    1                cup  coarsely grated zucchini -- (from about 1 
medium zucchini)

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-4 1/2" 
metal loaf pan. Spread the walnut halves in a pie plate and toast 
them for about 8 minutes, until they are fragrant. Transfer the 
toasted walnuts to a cutting board and coarsely chop them, then 
freeze for 5 minutes to cool.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking 
soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, mix the sugar with the eggs, 
vegetable oil, and fat-free yogurt. Add the wet ingredients to the 
dry ingredients along with the grated zucchini and toasted walnuts 
and stir until the batter is evenly moistened. Scrape the batter into 
the prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the 
loaf is risen and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
Let the loaf cool on a rack for 30 minutes before unmolding and serving.

Servings: Makes one 9" loaf, 12 servings

Description:
    "This moist, nutty bread is a terrific way to use up late-summer 
zucchini. The walnuts in the bread are super-heart-healthy, and the 
yogurt adds moisture without any fat."
