Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces lump crab meat, drained and flaked
- 1 whole large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and lump crab meat. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the egg to the mixture and beat until fully blended.
Stir in the coconut flour and baking powder. Combine well to ensure a smooth batter.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.
Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crab puffs are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a serving plate.
Serve warm as a delicious low-carb appetizer or snack.
