Writing or making peanut burger always make me so emotional because it was the first snack I ever made. I felt so good about it that I decided to be a Pastry Chef. Since then, I haven’t stopped.
I love peanut burgers because it is a good source of protein, healthy fat and covered in flour which are high in carbs. Most importantly, it is a sweet healthy snacks that can be preserved for 6 months and more if well stored.

Coating Process

June 9, 2019But, Don’t I need to wash the peanuts? Cause I’d love to wash it. I mean it won’t spoil anything if the peanuts are still wet from washing right?

June 9, 2019Hello Pinky,
Thank you for reaching out to me. Im so happy. Ok!
You can wash it. However, after washing, you must take the pain to dry it either sun drying or any other way. Dont forget, you are using a raw groundnut and not processed one.
Make sure you reach out back to me how it went.
Warm Regards.

June 10, 2019Thank very much,what about the preservative?
Chef Wale
June 10, 2019Hello Azzez,
Thank you for reaching out to me. I appreciate you. Whenever I make peanut burgers, I don’t add preservatives and that’s because once it is stored in bottles (Airtight), It can stay up to a month.
However, if you want to probably store for months, get preservatives (sodium benzoate) from the general market and add to flour However, be very careful adding preservatives. very minute. I use half teaspoon for 5 cups but almost all the time, I use none.
