If you love groundnuts you wouldย loooove Peanut Burger Snack. This is a snack made by coating groundnuts otherwise known as peanuts with flour and other ingredients.
Oh my! Does deliciousness come any better than this? Peanut Burger is so crunchy, slightly sweet, nutty and so addicting!
Warning: these little balls of food ecstasy won’t last long after you make them. You might start making them every week! I’m not complaining, though.
Peanut Burger is a well-known snack in Nigeria and Ghana. I first fell in love with the commercial brand version in Nigeria. I could never get enough of it.
It was fast gaining popularity in Cameroon before I left. It is colloquially called “peanuts” there. I could see it in so many stores and snack stands.
I don’t know if that is still the case. Are “Peanuts” still so popular in pays? Please let me know below if you are in Cameroon right now.
So a while ago I got a couple of requests to do a recipe for this. I was mad at myself for not making this in a long time… over two years! Why Precious, why??? I repent.
Making Peanut Burger Snack could be time-consuming but it is quite easy and the taste pays for the time. I promise.
All you need is some raw peanuts. Then you coat the peanuts with some flour, eggs, sugar salt and nutmeg if you like. Viola, peanut burger!

Peanut Burger Snack Recipe

Ingredients

- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup of sugar (66.7 grams)
- 2 cups of raw groundnuts aka peanuts
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg optional
- A pinch of salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Put your groundnuts in a bowl and select to take out all the bad ones.
- Mix together flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt and set aside.
- Beat eggs together with sugar in another bowl.
- Pour a little of the egg mixture over the groundnuts. Shake bowl until mixture coats all the groundnuts.
- Sprinkle some of the flour mixture over the groundnuts and shake.
- Repeat 4 and 6 above until groundnuts are completely coated with flour. If some stick together, use your fingers to separate them and keep going.

It is okay to have some flour at the base of your bowl when coating the groundnuts. Make sure you separate the nuts from the flour before frying.

Thanks it was helpfulโค๏ธโค๏ธ
Happy to hear that!
i tried this recipe today,but my peanut started guming together while coating
what can i do to prevent that?
Hi Onyinye, to prevent that you add more flour to separate them. Sometimes I use my hands to separate some. Hope this helps.
Is it compulsory to add garlic and ginger to my peanut
Hi Sandra, this recipe didn’t mention garlic and ginger.
Am using rubber how can I get my measurement?
Hi, sorry not sure what you mean by rubber.
Well done ma. Should the groundnut be roasted before coating
Hi, no there’s no need to roast the groundnuts first.
Thanks a lot Ma…it was really helpful
After blanching the groundnut and it gets dry, can we peel the back before coating…did u coat it with back?
Hi Cynthia, I coat with the skin on.
Hi ma’am thank you very much for this recipe I tried mine it came out so well but the groundnut is still raw why is that? And pls can heavy coating make the groundnut not to fry well
Hi Kay, it could be that your oil was to hot so the coating cooked quickly without the groundnut cooking on the inside.
Hi precious, I made mine and it turned out real nice, sweet and crunchy, but it had a lot of black particles which weren’t there before frying. What could be the cause?
Hmmm I’m not sure what could have caused that.
Can I use raw groundnut for the peanut
That’s what I used.
Was the raw groundnut sun-dried
No, it wasn’t.
what you mean is that we shouldn’t fry the groundnut first
Yes.
Hello ma ….thanks for ure recipes…. Pls can i use sieve instead of bowl to coat the groundnut and how hot should the oil be?
