What can I substitute for the sunflower seeds? I don’t have them in the pantry.
Hi Erika,
if you don’t have sunflower seeds, you can substitute them with pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, or other chopped nuts of choice almonds, pecans, more walnuts.
What is the best way to store? Taking a 4 day road trip and looking for ideas
Hi Susan,
because these have fresh carrot in them, they don’t keep as long as some other energy ball recipes. You can refrigerate them before the trip: chill the carrot cake balls in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before you leave. This will help them stay firm and fresh longer. You can also use a cooler: store the sealed container in a cooler with ice packs while you’re on the road. This will maintain a cool temperature and prevent them from spoiling. Following these tips should keep your carrot cake balls fresh and tasty throughout your trip. Enjoy your road trip and the treats!
Awesome! What is the nutritional value per ball.
Made both today. Easy and good. Nice gift for anyone who is avoiding gluten.
