Prepare the Filling: - In a small bowl, mix together the light brown sugar, chopped walnuts, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

Combine Wet Ingredients: - Add the plain fat-free yogurt and canola oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
