Carrot, Zucchini and Apple Bread

Substitutes, to great result:
- used only 1 cup sugar
- used 1 cup coconut oil instead of vegetable oil
- used 1 cup whole wheat flour instead of 2 full cups white

The recipe is still too sweet for my taste, with the 1 cup of sugar... I'll drop this by a further 1/4 cup next batch. The coconut oil adds lovely flavour, but is heavier / oilier than vegetable: I'd substitute 1/4 - 1/2 cup of the oil with unsweetened applesauce next batch to bring the fat down.

I'm putting the mini-loaves I've just baked away for easy, post-pregnancy nibbles, so the oil in this batch will keep them moist enough to survive the freezer.
