- Mix the shredded carrots, apple, pineapple, coconut, raisins, sugar, oil and the dairy-free milk/vinegar mixture in a medium bowl.
- Measure the flour, soda, cinnamon and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Dump the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together carefully, until just blended.

Notes
If you have a food processor with a grating disk, now is the time to use it.
