  1. Grease a 14” x 9.5” mini loaf pan and pre-heat the oven to 350F. 

  2. In a small bowl or jug, mix together the plant-based milk and vinegar. Set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. 

  3. In a large bowl, mash the banana. Add the carrots, zucchini, sugar, oil, water, flax meal and vanilla extract. Also add the milk and vinegar mixture. Mix well. 

  4. In a medium sized bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir together until just mixed. Add the raisins, pumpkin seeds and chocolate chips (if using) to the mixture and fold in.

  5. Divide the batter evenly in prepared mini loaf pan and bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes. Check the loaves are done by inserting a wooden toothpick in the centre.

  6. Once done, allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then remove and transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool fully.
