3. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:

   • In a food processor, combine half of the 3 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour with the honey, eggs, yoghurt, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, allspice, and cinnamon.
   • Blend until well combined.
   • Gradually add in the remaining half of the whole wheat flour.

4. Add Zucchini and Walnuts:

   • Mix in the grated zucchini and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

5. Fold in Additional Flour:

   • Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour by hand. This helps ensure the batter is just the right consistency.

6. Divide Batter:

   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.

7. Top with Bran:

   • Sprinkle the tops of the loaves with a generous amount of bran. This adds a delightful crunch and texture to the finished bread.

8. Bake:

   • Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be beautifully golden.

9. Cooling:

   • Allow the zucchini walnut bread to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to remove from the pans.
   • Afterward, gently turn out the loaves onto a wire rack to cool completely.
