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
This is a snack made by coating raw groundnuts/peanuts with flour then deep frying. It is very tasty and "peanutty".
Ingredients
- 2 cups of flour (250 grams)
- 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.
- Heat oil on medium heat and fry in batches until golden brown.

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.

Hi precious, thanks for the video, it means alot. I do my peanuts and dey always turns out fine but will it be okay to replace the milk flavor with liquid milk to see how it taste and is it possible to have my peanuts baked instead of frying.. How can I alsi be consistent with my measuring to get it right with d taste..
Hi dear, this recipe doesn’t call for milk flavor or liquid milk so you can definitely make your peanuts without milk. Also, I am sure you can bake but I have never tried it. Maybe you try baking and let me know how it goes. Check the bottom of this post to see my step-by-step peanut recipe with measurements. Blessings
Hi precious
please must I wash and sundry the groundnuts before adding the mixture and the flour to coat it and if it’s compulsory, which other mean can I dry it during rainy season
Hi Helen, no you don’t have to wash it.
Hello Precious dear. Happy with this plat form buh needs a clarification on d peanut burger,for d recipe u said raw ground nuts,does that mean I can’t use fried g/nut?? N if I am to use raw g/nut, how am I to peel off d bk or shd I do the coating with d back?? Tnks hoping for a reply
Yes, use raw – no need for fried because it will get burned. Also, no need to peel the groundnuts. Happy cooking!
Hi precious your blog is nice.. And your procedure looks simple.. I’m about to try it and i hope it comes out well for me.. Thanks for the great work
You are welcome, dear. Fingers crossed for you.
Hi ma precious love d recipe u gave out ,. God bless u and continue increasing his knowledge on u ijn amen. Pls ma i want to teach some of d community In carrying out our CDS ., can i use fry groundnut and will not allow d oil not b too hot wen deep frying cos we are giving little time to round up.
Hi Sunshine, so sorry for the late reply. I have never made it with roasted (fried) groundnuts so I can’t really tell how that will work. The groundnuts are likely to burn in the oil. To be on the safe side you could roast the groundnuts very lightly and see.
