Yummy, healthy, and completely made-up. I use a combo of oil and applesauce, and I almost always use buttermilk (milk and lemon juice, let sit on the counter for 10 m.)

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin and carrots for the best flavor and texture.
Grate the pumpkin and carrots finely so that they blend seamlessly into the bread.
Toast the raisins in a pan with a little butter before adding them to the batter. This will enhance their flavor and prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the bread.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
