How to Make Low Fat Lemon Zucchini Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups grated zucchini, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and ½ cup plain nonfat yogurt.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
