    Having trouble blending this receipt due to the dry ingredients, any suggestions?

    Sorry to hear this recipe didn’t work for you. You could trying steaming the carrots for a bit so they are softer.

    Be sure you are scraping the sides to keep everything in the middle, close to the blade. You could also try steaming the carrots for a little bit, just so they are a little softer.

    Love fresh new ideas!! This one is a keeper!

    Yes, the balls can be frozen and fried later, though we recommend thawing the balls first before putting them in the hot oil.
