½ tsp baking soda`
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

Use a mixer to beat the eggs and add the sugar, oil and yogurt
In a separate bowl, add baking soda, baking powder, salt, flours and xanthan gum.  Use a whisk to mix together evenly.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet.  Mix together but be careful not to mix too much.  Fold in zucchini and walnuts.
