WHAT IS THE KETOGENIC DIET?

If you haven’t heard of The ketogenic diet (often called keto), it’s a very low-carb, high-fat diet that shares similarities to paleo, Whole30, and Atkins. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake, and replacing it with fat. When in ketosis, your body switches to burning fat for its primary fuel source.

On Keto, you’re supposed to get at least 70 percent of your calories from Fat, 15 to 25 percent from Protein, and 10 percent from Carbohydrates. You should avoid all grains, legumes, root vegetables, fruit, (except berries) and sugar.

These Keto Buffalo Tuna Bites are extremely Low Carb and are Loaded with Protein. The Flavour packed Tuna Salad is extremely versatile. It can be paired with so many different things. I like having it on slices of cucumber or carrots, on keto crackers, as a sandwich on fat head buns or bread or wrapped in lettuce. I also love to have it as a buffalo tuna bowl with lettuce and ranch on the top.

To make these tasty Cheesy Keto Tuna Melts, you spread out the mozzarella slices onto 2 parchment paper (Not Wax Paper) lined baking sheets. Then in a bowl, mix the drained cans of tuna with the mayonnaise and minced celery. Stir until very well combined.

Bake the cheese slices, until fully melted, approx. 4-5 mins. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before adding a few spoonfuls of tuna to the corner of each of the cheese shells. Then fold the squares in half, making triangle shapes. Firmly press the sides closed. Return to the oven for another 5 – 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Recipe Tips:

– Using pre sliced Mozzarella Deli Slices makes this recipe a breeze.

– I turned my oven to broil for the last minute of baking, just to brown the tops a bit more. Watch very closely if you do this step.

– Small square piles of grated mozzarella cheese will work instead of the slices if needed.

– Use 2 170 g cans of tuna.

Low Carb Waffled Tuna Cakes

by 31 Comments

These Keto & Low Carb Waffled Tuna Cakes are an inexpensive appetizer, side dish or meal. They’re loaded with Healthy Fats and Protein and can be thrown together in a few minutes with Items from your Pantry. I used Solid White Albacore Tuna, which is better quality but the recipe can be made with any canned tuna or salmon you have on hand.

How do you Make Low Carb Tuna Cakes in a Waffle Maker?

You’ll Love how easy these Keto Tuna Cakes are to make. First you drain the liquid off of the Tuna, then add it to a mixing bowl. Add the egg, garlic, mayonnaise, lemon juice, crushed pork rinds or bread crumbs, onion powder and salt and pepper. Mix until very well combined.

Then preheat your waffle iron. Use the melted butter to coat the hot iron, then divid the tuna mixture into 6. Place a ball of the the tuna mixture onto the centre of the greased iron. Cook until golden Brown. Serve with a side of Dill Pickle Dip and Lemon.

I like making these Low Carb Waffled Tuna Cakes on a Hot Summer Day because the Waffle Iron doesn’t Heat up my House as much as using the Stove or Oven would. On really hot days, I’ve even plugged it in outside. It makes dinner time so easy and the best part is you’re family will absolutely love them. These crispy and satisfying fish cakes can be made ahead of time and then reheated in the oven or toaster oven. They can even be reheated in the waffle iron.

Are you looking for some more delicious Keto Recipes? You’re in luck! I have some of my families favourite recipes to share. Our absolute fav are these Keto Coconut Protein Pancakes. I love that they’re so easy and quick to make. Another one of our favourites, are these tasty Keto Strawberry French Toast Cups. They’re perfect for impressing brunch guests or for spoiling someone special.

Recipe Notes:

  • Almond or coconut flour can be used in place of the pork rinds if preferred. Just note that pork rinds don’t have any carbs. If using flour instead the carb count will go up.
  • The tuna cakes can be cooked in a frying pan or in the oven instead of the waffle iron.
  • The canned tuna can be switched out for canned chicken, crab or salmon.
