I saw a recipe for tuna avocado patties a few weeks ago, but I can’t for anything find it now so I can link back to it! I just glanced at the recipe, but I’ve been making my own grain free tuna avocado patties since. I wouldn’t have thought to combine the two in a patty, but I have to say, I really like the result!

I’ve had tuna patties since I was a little kid, but I’ve never been crazy about them. I am a big fan of avocado though! So when I saw the recipe I knew I had to give it a try.

I haven’t posted many recipes lately, but I’ve been gluten (and grain) free for almost 2 years now. I still make recipes with wheat and grains for the rest of my family, but I make a grain free version for myself. That’s exactly what I did to these tuna avocado patties, now their my lunchtime staple, over a bed of salad greens, with a little homemade honey mustard dressing.

Here’s the recipe I’ve been using:

Grain Free Tuna Avocado Patty Recipe

Ingredients:

1 can tuna (drained)
1/2 avocado (diced)
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 egg
1-2 tablespoons almond flour
1-2 tablespoons coconut oil for frying (optional)

Directions:

1. Mash the avocado in a medium bowl with a fork, then add the egg, tuna, almond flour, and onion.
2. Stir and mash all the ingredients together in the bowl.

3. Form into patties and fry in a skillet with the coconut oil, or a little olive oil. If you don’t want to fry your tuna avocado patties, you can also bake them.

This recipe will make about 3-4 patties, and will serve at least two people. You can easily double or triple the recipe to serve more.

These is very low carb recipe, since they don’t have any grains or starches in them. They’re also really yummy if you’re an avocado fan! I haven’t tried it yet, but I bet this would be great with chicken or salmon substituted for the tuna. I’ll have to give it a try and let you know!
