In a bowl, combine the eggs, orange zest and juice, soy milk, neutral oil, and brown sugar.
Beat all the ingredients together, then add the grated carrot and the dried plums, halved.
Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour, previously sifted, into the mixture. Stir gently using folding motions until a smooth batter is achieved.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Sprinkle the surface with sunflower seeds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and then unmold.
Ensure the orange zest is finely grated to avoid bitterness in the loaf.
For added texture, you can lightly toast the sunflower seeds before sprinkling them on top.
If you prefer a sweeter loaf, you can increase the brown sugar slightly.
Can I use regular milk instead of soy milk?
Yes, you can substitute soy milk with regular milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
Can I replace dried plums with another dried fruit?

How do I know when the loaf is fully baked?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the loaf is fully baked.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
You can try substituting whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend, but the texture may vary.
How should I store the carrot loaf?
Store the loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
