Gluten-Free Tuna Cakes on platter with salad These are super easy-to-make gluten-free tuna cakes. There are no grains used here, and the cheese and salsa mixed into the "batter" makes them moist and delicious. I used coconut flour, but others like almond flour work great, as well. If you are not gluten or grain conscious, you can use regular flour.

I love these after I strength train. Per serving, these are 213 calories, 22.1g protein, 10.2g fat, and 8.2g carbs.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients:

1 can (5 oz) tuna packed in water
1 egg
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1.5 ounce coconut flour
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp salsa
oil for frying

Steps:

Drain the water from the tuna. Place it in a medium bowl, then add the egg, cheese, coconut flour, and garlic powder.

Mix well until you have a dough, then mix in the salsa.

Use your hands to form into 6 or 7 patties.

Heat some oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and fry for 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip and fry 3 to 4 more minutes. Both sides should be golden brown. Serve immediately.
