Ingredients:

Bread:

• 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar
• 2/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2-1/2 cups flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Walnut Topping:

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a loaf pan.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, and walnuts, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix the brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla until combined.

Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in two parts, alternating with the yogurt. Mix until combined.

Stir in the chopped rhubarb.  Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.

Sprinkle the walnut topping onto the batter.

Cool slightly, and enjoy!
