Zucchini Carrot and Raisin Bread

So zucchini season has arrived and I am so excited to bake again as the weather is cooling. This is one of my favourite snacks because it is quite healthy, and breakfast worthy. Veggies complete and very low in oil and sugar. This tastes quite healthy so if your taste buds are not use to "health-nut" food, not for you. If you are, FANTASTIC recipe. Let me know what you think. 

PS   I have made these with paper lines in my muffin pans before and because there is so little oil in it, the paper sticks to the muffin. Not a good idea. So grease your pan generously and hang in there when washing your tin pans! YOU CAN DO IT! They're worth it. 

PPS  The recipe doubles well! Freezes fantastically so enjoy!
