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!

how many cups of groundnuts can go in for One kg of flour?i mean 8cups of flour?
8 cups of flour. Multiply every ingredient by 4 to get the quantities for 1kg of flour. Hope this helps.
Can I use corn for making corn nuts as pea nuts?
Hi Nde, that won’t work.
Hmm,well done.I haven’t given it a trial but the video I watch gives 100% of a spicy and crunchy peanut burger. You mixed egg and sugar together that’s another 100% the reason for given 100% is that I tasted one peanut burger sometimes and I spit it out because of the sugar in it but seeing this the egg will melt the sugar and everything will be crunchy.Thank you precious.
