1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch of nutmeg
1/2 cup brown sugar, not packed
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tablespoons olive, coconut, or canola oil
2 egg
2 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (or you can use sweetened)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS
