This has been a go to recipe for me for the last two years when I am hosting meat eaters. In fact, folks assume I use imitation crab and I usually have to show them the empty hearts of palm cans to prove the cakes are vegan.

The only change I make is adding a corn starch slurry because the patties tend to fall apart without it.

Great recipe though!!

In reply to Melissa Huggins. Thank you I was planning on using one can of each.I'll make sure to squeeze out the excess water from the artichokes. Your website has wonderful recipes to please the vegan family members and many of them look delicious for the whole family!

In reply to Regina. Hi Regina! Yes, artichoke hearts will work well here. Just use ones packed in water rather than marinated in oil, and squeeze out the excess moisture so the crab cakes don’t become too wet. I wasn’t sure if you meant replacing just one of the two cans of hearts of palm with artichokes, or replacing both. Either will work, but I actually made a batch recently using 1 can of hearts of palm and 1 can of artichoke hearts, along with the chickpeas, and it ended up being my favorite version. I hope everyone enjoys them!

I have not made the recipe yet but would like to know if I substituted one can of hearts of palm with one can of artichokes if that would work. I'm not vegan but I am serving crab cakes at dinner ( for 12) and have 2 vegans and one person who won't eat crab. I don't know how they feel avout hearts of palm but I know they like artichokes so I thought a 50/50 mixture would work. The rest of the recipe I would keep exactly as written. Do you think that would work? Thank you for your time and website.

My non-vegan friends and husband loved these. I did prep and freeze them before coating and frying. I used crushed vegan gf panko and cracker crumbs for the coating. Reheating the leftovers in the air fryer. Yum!
