Crab cakes are a great keto choice for lunch or dinner, as long as they don't contain any bread or cracker fillers that could push up the carb content. These keto crab cakes bake on a parchment-lined pan for easy preparation and cleanup.

Ingredients

 1 egg
 2 tbsp mayonnaise
 1 tsp lemon juice
 ¼ tsp sea salt
 1 oz low-carb seed or keto crackers(crushed finely)
 1 ½ tbsp butter(melted, optional)

Directions

1

Whisk the egg in a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, old bay seasoning, lemon juice, and salt. Whisk well to combine.

2

Add the crab meat and the crackers and gently stir, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

3

Heat the oven to 425ºF (218ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4

Remove the crab mixture from the fridge and divide it into even cakes roughly 2.5-inches in diameter. Do not flatten them. Place them on the baking sheet. Brush the top of the crab cakes with the melted butter (optional).

5

Bake for 13 to 16 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. For extra color and crispiness, broil for one to two minutes on high. Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Keto Crab Cakes
I am a Nurse, wife, and mom. I have spent over 20 years in Healthcare and always took care of everyone else. Finally, after years of yo-yo dieting and failed New Years' resolutions, and complete desperation, I found something that Finally worked for me. I have been doing this Keto/Low carb lifestyle for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. My goal was to bring this lifestyle to my family and we went from couch potatoes to our 1st 5k and have lost over 300 lbs. We still have a long way to reach our goals, but we strive to be better every day. I enjoy helping women bring this Keto/Low carb lifestyle to the family.
