    This is an excellent idea, thanks! I will have to experiment to make it gluten free, but I will certainly give a try very shortly!

    You mean a Zucchini Patti or Pancake since there is no crab. This was posted a few days ago, hers were 17 cals each, mine are 26c and large but you don't seem to have an excessive amount of flour, weird.

    Im going to try this!

    One note about dredging though ~ I fill an empty spice jar with flour and sprinkle flour rather than dredge anything ~ its a more controlled even spread when you do it this way. :)

    No theses are NOT the "zucchini tots", those are a little different and mini size. These Zucchini "Crab" Cakes are large (size of a burger) & it's "crab" because Old Bay seasoning!
