Gluten Free Crab Cakes

Gluten-Free Vegan “Crab” Cakes

If you’re a fan of crab cakes, this vegan version offers a great plant-based alternative that approximates the look and texture of the “real thing.” While I can’t vouch entirely for the flavor (I’ve never had actual crab cakes!), this hubby-approved appetizer does provide a “seafood-like” experience that’s delicious in its own right.

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Servings: 6 patties
Calories: 261kcal
Author: Ricki Heller

Ingredients

  • 2 cups well-cooked drained and rinsed chickpeas (about 1 large can)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can hearts of palm either whole or chunks
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup chickpea flour sifted
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher or fine sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the chickpeas to break them up. Add the hearts of palm and pulse a few times more to blend, leaving some visible texture. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Using a large ice cream scoop or ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly to form patties.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, flipping the patties about halfway through, until browned on both sides. Serve with gluten-free cocktail sauce or another sauce of choice.
