Crab cakes
are a tasty appetizer, but they can be high in fat and calories. By adapting the recipe to bake your crab cakes in a muffin tin, you can avoid the frying that makes traditional recipes so unhealthy. The muffin tin will help these cakes to keep their shape as they cook. If you cannot find real crab meat, imitation crab can also be used. These can be made 48 hours ahead and served cold or reheated. See tip. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Prepare the muffin tin by spraying the cups with cooking spray.
2. Stir all of the ingredients together in bowl to combine.
3. Divide the batter into six even portions. Place one into each of the sprayed muffin cups.
4. Bake the crab cakes in the oven at 450 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes before serving with lemon, if desired. You can also serve these cold.
