Grain-Free Crab Cakes

crab-cakes

For me, following a gluten-free diet has become a way of life. While it did require giving up some not-so-healthy staples like pasta, bread, and cereal, it certainly didn’t mean I had to deprive myself of foods I love. The great thing about a gluten-free lifestyle is that you can get creative and make a “GF” version of just about any food. Since I love to cook, this has been such a fun experience for me!

Being from the south, crab cakes were always a comfort food treat. However, one of the main ingredients is gluten-laden bread crumbs along with other undesirable ingredients.

So, I set out to make my own gluten and grain-free version, and I must say, they’re pretty amazing! These crab cakes are grain-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, and delicious. Plus, they are incredibly easy to make.

I am confident you and your family will love them!
