Keto Crab Cakes

44 ratings

Yes, crab cakes CAN be ketogenic! By staying light on the mixed in condiments, and going gluten free with the breading, you can have a crab cake that is juicy, flavorful, flaky, and healthy. Each serving provides you with two crab cakes, which make you a delicious lunch. Pair them with a low carb side or top a keto salad with your crab cakes.

Recipe Steps

steps 3

15 min

  • Step 1

    In a bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the butter. Make sure your fresh herbs are finely chopped and the crab is flaked finely.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Melt the butter in a large iron skillet or stainless steel pan. Heat the skillet/pan to a medium high heat. With your hands, form four even sized crab cakes and place them in the pan. Press them down slightly with a spatula so they resemble a thick disk.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Cook the crab cakes for about 4 minutes, or until the cooked side turns golden brown. Gently flip the crab cakes over and cook for an additional four minutes or until they release from the pan. Serve with fresh lemon juice at your discretion for a fresh flavor!

    Yummy! Would cut the seasoning in half (1 T vs 2T) and also add a little mustard.

        Very good! Easy to make! Based on others’ feedback, I increased the almond so it wouldn’t be as wet. Next time, I’ll omit the salt and/or cut down on the Old Bay seasoning as it was too salty for my taste.

          2 servings at 2 crab cakes per serving = 4 cakes. 8 oz of crab meat divided among 4 cakes = approx 2 oz per cake, or 4 oz per serving. 🙂

          2 servings as one recipe makes 4 cakes and 2 cakes is one serving.

          I’m trying to figure that out too. I’d you use 8 oz of crab how many servings does it make!

              Excellent! Quick and easy to make. Pairs great with keto tartar sauce recipe. I increased the almond flour to get a thicker consistency. 😋

                Can I use a few Ritz crackers since I don't have almond flour?

                Keto Panko bread crumbs or ground pork rinds.

                I didn't use any flour at all. They were scrumptious!

                Can we use ground pork rinds instead of flour?

                You could try coconut flour but I would use less of it

                Fresh BC Dungeness crab, was delicious, definitely 5 star. Stuffed after 1, used the juice of a lemon with a salad and slice of fresh keto bread.

                        This Marylander approves! I doubled the recipe, and broiled them instead of fried them. I also added a bit of psyllium fiber to absorb some of the liquid. I seved it with some keto ketchup.

                            Yes! It would be best to freeze the cakes before cooking them, but you may freeze them after cooking as well.

                            Delicious. I simply pour the whole galoop into the hot pan, flatten with a spatula, then partition into wedges as they cook. Add a 1:1 mix of mayo and hot sauce for a bit of zazzy topping! Also, coconut flour would likely work as it’s such a small amount, although it will slightly increase the carb count. I’d add an extra egg and go light on flour.
