In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, yogurt, oil, lemon juice and vanilla until well combined.
Using a clean kitchen towel or several paper towels, squeeze out most of the moisture from the zucchini.
Add the squeezed shredded zucchini to the wet ingredients and blend well.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until evenly incorporated, do not over mix.
If desired, add the toasted walnut pieces and stir to incorporate.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake until the loaf is golden and a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes.
Cool loaf in pan on a rack for 10 minutes and then turn the loaf out unto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Toast the walnuts in a 350ºF oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are fragrant, let cool and chop coarsely.
If you don't have any whole wheat pastry flour on hand, you can use all-purpose flour.
This loaf can be wrapped and frozen for up to 3 months.
