1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 c. poppy seeds
1/2 c. canola or other vegetable oil
1 c. granulated sugar
4 egg whites
2/3 c. nonfat yogurt
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange zest (peel without pith)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line bottom of pan with waxed paper; spray again. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into large bowl; stir in poppy seeds.

In large mixer bowl combine oil and sugar; beat on medium speed until smooth. Add egg whites, beating well until mixture is frothy. Reduce speed to low; gradually beat in yogurt, zest and orange juice.

In two additions gently blend in flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and tap to eliminate air bubbles.
