Ingredients :

3. In another bowl, using the electric mixer, whisk the oil, the second 1/3 of the granulated sugar, the eggs, the vanilla and the coconut milk, until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
4. Add the zucchini, apples, carrots and mix well with a spatula.

** Little tip for heating maple butter. In the microwave, heat the butter for 10 seconds and stir it between every 10 seconds until you get a butter in a more runny cream. Be careful not to overheat the butter! Otherwise you risk losing the initial texture on cooling.
