Paleo Crab Cakes Recipe

by

Coated in crispy almond flour, these crab cakes mixed with creamy Paleo mayo are just what the doctor ordered.

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy tasty seafood. We recreated classic crab cakes into a Paleo version that melts in your mouth.

Almond flour replaces regular flour to create a crunchy outer layer bursting with flavor. Find Paleo mayonnaise, or make your own, for a tasty sauce to serve on the side.
