Looking for a lowfat crabcake recipe for a dinner I'm attending...checked online, but most sites do not give good nutritional info.

Thanks,

Diane

    Not actually crab, but still very good!

    Zucchini "Crab" Cakes

    2 1/2 cups grated zucchini
    1 egg, beaten
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 cup bread crumbs
    1/4 cup minced onion
    1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
    1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying

    Directions

    1. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, egg, and butter or margarine. Stir in seasoned crumbs, minced onion, and seasoning. Mix well
    2. Shape mixture into patties. Dredge in flour.
    3. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium high heat until hot. Fry patties in oil until golden brown on both sides

    I have made these even healthier by using egg beaters and baking them until golden brown, omitting all the oil.

    So funny, I just got done making some light crab cakes a few minutes ago...haven't tried them yet, but very close to my mom's recipe so they should be good!

    1 lb crab meat
    1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt
    1 large egg
    2/3 cup whole wheat seasoned bread crumbs
    1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
    chopped onion
    old bay seasoning

    Mixed it all together and formed 8 patties. Per my calculations only around 100 calories per cake. I am freezing them for later, but plan to use a little spray oil and bake/broil them.

    I made this one up last night when I was craving crab cakes...

    8oz crab
    1 green onion, sliced thinly
    1oz roasted red peppers, chopped finely
    18 34 degrees multigrain wafers, crushed
    1 egg
    Lemon juice (yield from half a lemon)
    Spices I used were paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, lemon peel, pepper)

    Gently mix all ingredients together. Use 1/4 measuring cup to form cakes; cool in fridge for 1 hour. Spray with olive oil cooking spray. Cook in 400 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. This made 8 1/4 cup sized cakes. Delicious!!!
