1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 1/3 cups light brown sugar {packed}

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Raisins

1 cup sweetened shredded or flaked coconut

Preheat to 350 degrees

Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Mix together the flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, butter and vanilla. Add the coconut, carrots, and raisins and combine. Slowly add the four mixture until you have a nice batter.
