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

- 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.

Nice blog Precious. Please I want to know, instead of deep frying, can it be baked?
Hi Joy, I’m sure it can be baked but I’ve never tried that.
Hi Precious. Your blog looks very interesting. I just read your post on how to make peanut snack here and I really think I should give it a try. Actually, I’m looking to learn how to make one or two snacks in order to use it as a source of extra income during my National Youth Service. Will it be possible to learn that without actually having a teacher?
Hi Tolu, yes you can definitely learn without a physical d]teacher. The key is following the exact recipe. Also, watch the video embedded in the post so you can see how I make it. All the best!
gud evni house,am new here.pliz I nid d video clip of how to make peanut burger
Hi, the video is in the post. Click on it to watch.
pls the raw peanuts is it groundnut that has not been fried
Yes, dear. Raw means it hasn’t been fried or cooked in any way.
Thanks alot. seem so easy. Pls by *raw peanuts* , do you mean peanuts that haven’t been roasted? If yes, how do I get the nuts out of its peels? Can I use roasted nuts too?
Hi, Peace! Yes, raw peanuts are peanuts that haven’t been roasted. No need to peel them. You could use roasted peanuts but there’s the danger of them getting burnt while frying. So raw peanuts are the best because – they will cook during the frying and turn out crunchy. Hope this helps.
Hi, am Favour thanks for this recipe. Tho it looks easy hope mine will turn out well too ‘cos am so trying mine now.
Let me know how it goes, Favour.
