Can I freeze these healthy crab cakes?

YES! Freeze them before baking them. They will keep for up to three months. When you are ready to cook them unthaw them and then follow my instructions to broil them.

If you want to freeze them AFTER broiling them, youll just need to warm them up. Bake thawed crab cakes at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes until warm. Or put the frozen cooked crab cake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
