  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch dark glass baking dish.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal and 3 tablespoons water. Blend until smooth and let sit for at least 5 minutes to form a flax egg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar and the flax egg until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil and mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in 2 cups shredded carrots, 1 cup shredded zucchini, and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
