Avocado Crab Cakes image

I created this recipe because I like the pairing of crab and avocado; plus I wanted a baked rather than fried crab cake. These come out crisp and golden with great flavor. It's almost impossible to tell that they aren't fried. -Virginia Anthony, Jacksonville, Florida

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to my crab cakes, such as Old Bay seasoning and Dijon mustard.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never seem to get the crab cakes to hold together. They always fall apart when I try to flip them.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my avocado crab cakes didn't turn out very well. They were too dry and didn't have much flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of avocado, but I really enjoyed these crab cakes. The avocado flavor is subtle and doesn't overpower the crab.

I love that this recipe uses avocado instead of mayonnaise. It makes the crab cakes much healthier and just as delicious.

I was a bit skeptical about adding avocado to crab cakes, but I'm so glad I did! The avocado adds a delicious creaminess and richness to the cakes.

These avocado crab cakes were a hit at my last dinner party! The avocado added a creamy texture and richness to the cakes, while the crab gave them a nice briny flavor.
