Servings: 8-10 slices
Ingredient:

* 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups whole wheat all-purpose flour

* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

5. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
