These keto crab cakes made with old bay seasoning and buffalo sauce have a nice kick. The creamy garlic aioli combined with the old bay is oh so delicious. This recipe makes for a great summer dinner or appetizer.
Ingredients:
For the keto crab cakes-
- Lump crab meat-You can get this in the seafood section of your grocery store.
- Almond flour-This helps hold all of the ingredients together. I do not suggest using another kind of binder as I have not tested it out.
- Chopped celery-This gives these salmon cakes a nice crunch.
- Purple onions-Add to the flavor and add a nice crunch, if you are not an onion person skip the onions and double the celery for the crunch.
- Buffalo sauce-Adds a nice kick!
- New bae seasoning-This is the paleo version of old bay. You can use the regular old bay version as well.
- Garlic-Garlic always enhances the flavor!
- Avocado mayo-This adds a layer of creaminess!
For the garlic aioli-
- Avocado mayo-The keto version of mayo. It is loaded with healthy fats.
- Garlic-To give it the garlic flavor.
- Lemon juice-To add a touch of citrus.
- Dijon mustard-To pull all of the flavors together.
How to make the keto crab cakes:
- First, place all ingredients in a bowl and mix. Preheat the oven to 350.
- Spray a nonstick baking sheet with avocado oil.
- Next, take a large cookie scoop and scoop the crab mixture onto a non-stick baking sheet. Bake the crab cakes for 20 minutes. Once the 20 minutes is up let the crab cakes sit for 10 minutes prior to moving. While the crab cakes are baking, make the aioli sauce.
How to make the garlic aioli:
- Place all ingredients in the bowl and mix.
How to serve them:
- I love serving the crab cakes with over greens as a salad. They also go great with my bacon wrapped asparagus.

Very easy to make and delicious. However, I made a batch with the recommended 1/2 cup seasoning Bae or old bay, I had Old bay so I used it, they were way to salty so I ditched those and made another batch and only sprinkled a little old bay seasoning in the mix and they were amazing less salty.I should have know Old bay was a salty seasoning but hey you don’t know unless you try. Thank you Allianna your recipes are bomb!
