After watching an episode of Sponge Bob Square Pants with my daughter it got me in the mood to try a new recipe…

So in honor of Sponge Bob’s tasty Krabby Patties (if you have kids you know what I am talking about…)

It’s a super simple recipe that is high in protein which is good for building lean muscle but without all the gut busting fats that are found in the deep fried batter and tartar sauce covered cakes you might see at your typical seafood restaurant.

Crispy Crab Cakes

1 can of crab meat

2 tbsp minced jalapenos

2 green onions

1/2 of minced red bell pepper

1 egg, slightly beaten

2 tsp dijon mustard

juice of 1 lemon

garlic seasoning

salt and pepper

3/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 425 F

Mix everything in a bowl except 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs

Using your hands form the crab cakes into patties.

Spread the remaining bread crumbs on a plate and coat each pattie in the crumbs.

Shape each breaded crab cake into patties the size of hockey pucks….

Place them on a non-stick baking sheet. I like to cover the baking sheet with parchment paper for no stick and easy clean-up.

Bake for 15 minutes or until brown and crispy.

Top with a spoonful of plain yogurt or seafood sauce. Enjoy!
