Packed with flavor and baked to crispy perfection, our Baked Crab Cakes offer a healthy alternative to the traditional fried versions. Ideal for enjoying on your back porch this season, these crab cakes are set to become your new favorite for a satisfying, weight loss-friendly meal.
Our Skinny Crab Cakes are loaded with fresh, lump crab meat and served with a zesty homemade dipping sauce. This recipe brings you the nostalgic taste of summer vacations with a healthy twist.
Ingredients like finely chopped scallions, garlic, and jalapeños add depth and a spicy kick to the crab cakes, while whole wheat panko crumbs, combined with egg whites, ensure they are both hearty and nutritious.
Shape the crab mixture into approximately 10 two-inch cakes and bake them in the oven for 15 minutes to achieve a mouthwatering meal perfect for family dinners. For an added summer touch, grill the crab cakes until they are crisp and golden brown, enhancing their flavor and texture.
For a creamy and flavorful finish, whisk together Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, scallions, lemon juice, cayenne, salt and pepper. Top each crab cake with a generous spoonful of this delicious sauce to elevate the flavors to a whole new level of deliciousness.
