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.

PEANUT BURGER

RECIPE

  • Peanuts- 2 cups
  • Eggs- 3
  • Flour- 3 cups
  • Sugar- 5-6 tbsp (table spoon)
  • Liquid flavor (Preferably vanilla or strawberry)
  • Groundnut oil
  • Milk flavor

PREPARATION

Prepare three medium bowls and put inside your flour, eggs and peanuts respectively

Mix the powdery milk flavour with the flour and add little salt. 
  • Break the eggs, pour in two capful of the liquid flavor in and add your sugar. whisk all together.

Coating Process

The whole mixing will happen in the bowl where the groundnuts are.

1. Add 2 tbsp of egg mix into the groundnut and shake the bowl to mix. Do not mix with hands.

You will see that the eggs have coated the groundnut because the groundnuts will be shinning

2. Pour 2 handful of the flour mix (milk flavor and little salt) into the (groundnut-egg) and mix lightly with hand and then mix thoroughly by shaking the whole container.

* Repeat these (Flour, Egg mixture and shake) process until the egg mixture and flour finishes.

By the time you are repeating the process the third time, you would have already seen it coating.

Then Fry at medium heat until golden brown in colour. Let it cool and serve immediately.

There are varieties of ways it can be packaged or garnished before served;

Liquid chocolate can be drizzled on it and topped with coconut shavings, it can also be packaged, sealed and sold or eaten directly as appetizers.

          1. Hello,
            I will like to know what my groundnut is always soft and the outerpart crunchy, not too crunchy though.

          2. Remember that your groundnut wasn’t roasted but fried. Also, after frying, try to spread it and give it time to cool down completely before packaging

          3. Please I will also like to ask what are the possible cause of cracks on my peanut.

            Thanks

          4. Hello Olamide.
            Thanks for commenting. I would say you should reduce the amount of flour you use. Also make sure the frying is deep fried

          1. Thank you so much Chef for the comprehensive recipe.please I made the peanuts with the given recipe,the coating came out well however,the groundnut inside was tasting uncooked even after leaving for some time to cool off.please help out.

          2. Thank you for reaching out. Please remember that frying peanut burger is almost as frying an egg roll. It must be deep fried and the heat MUST be low to medium. Let it take it’s time to get done inside before outside… Control your heat.

            Also, you are free to experiment with roasted peanut but the above will solve your challenge. Love from chef wale

        1. You would need to specify the type of groundnut you used. It should be a raw one

          Also, once you finish frying, allow to properly cool off before storing or eating. This might take time.

          Then, check the ingredients I wrote and the ones you used.

          It should also be deep-fried

  3. I love this, it’s a very detailed technique. Thanks for sharing this. I’m gonna try it out today.

    1. But, 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?

      1. Hello 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.
        Chef Wale

    1. Hello 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.

    1. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! No water please. THERE ARE 3 BOWLS: 1. THE FLOUR 2. THE EGG MIXTURE: beaten egg, flavour and sugar 3. The Raw Groundnut. Mix as instructed. Thanks though; I love seeing replies… kisses

  6. thanks so much for sharing this, but there is one thing that is cleared, we all know that raw groundnuts are not easy peal but in the process of trying to peal it won’t it break? or is there a way of pealing it

    1. Hello Eniola,
      I never made mention of peeling it. Just process it like that. After frying, the skin will stick to the flour you wrapped it in. Thanks for getting across to the chef.

  8. Chef wale,I love your peanut burger recipe,most people don’t tell you about the flavors and milk powder added.

      2. Hello chef wale I tasted a peanut n it was so soft. Mine is hard. How can I make it soft n which quantity of corn flour do I add

        Reply

        1. Hello Ekene,

          You need to be specific. How do you mean soft? What are the characteristics? is it cruchy, or have a thin layer? Except a peanut burger is toasted or airfried, I don’t expect it to be soft.

          Reply

  14. Hi, i didn’t get a vanilla flavour, can i use mix milk flavour. And secondly, i would need your phone number for follow up.

    1. Hello. Sorry for the late reply. My comment section was spammed. Rectified it already.

    1. Hello Mercy,
      Thanks for reaching out. I would actually love to try it fist, Also, I found out that mixing a little margarine works but be careful!!!!!! so it doesn’t wash away the flour (very small). Also, corn flour does the job too.

  16. Hi chef can I use roasted peanuts for this and can I still peel off the skin of the roasted peanuts before using it thank you

    Reply

    1. Hello Khadijat,

      Thanks for reaching out. NO. i don’t use roasted; You can try it however.
      About peeling off the skin, No need. This is because when the peanut is fried and you want to eat, the skin will attach itself to the inner part of the coat thereby unpeeling itself. Love from the Chef.

    1. Hello Isaka,
      Thanks for reaching out. All families of cereals can be grounded into flour : Your baking flour is Wheat flour; from Wheat, corn flour from corn… yam flour from yam, potato flour from potato etc. NAME is always derived from the source

      Reply

        1. Dear Uchechi,

          Absolutely. Also, the word soak is wrong. You rinse with water in case of dirt or stones. Then dry. However, you can most definitely do without the rinsing and drying part. Since it would still enter hot oil

    Pls am i to mix the cornflour with the normal flavor or i should use the corn flower alone.

      Thanks for reaching out. Corn flour is just 3-4 tablespoons if you are doing 500g of flour. Flour is the bulk of the pastry. Happy Weekend.

    1. Hello Dan,

      The peanuts are joining because you probably dump the egg mixture in the groundnut. It is drizzled and you let it trickle down the spoon all over the groundnut. If dumped in one area, when the flour comes in, the whole area will clump together.

      When that is achieved and few still clump together, you can manually separate by hand.

    3. Hello, Chef Wale. Please the corn flour stated here, is it that sold in bakeries i.e corn starch or is it corn meal, that ground directly from corn? Thank you.

  26. I tried it and it came out nicely but the 2 capfull of flavour was too much on the taste. Also, I tried packaging to sell but the yield was less than the cost of the production.

    Reply

    1. Hello Jacinta;

      Thank you for trying my recipe.

      Actually, before you package and try to sell. You should know about Pricing and have a lot of Knowledge about sales.

      I will advice you take a course in business administration.

      That said, these are the things you should put into consideration

      1. The peanut recipe is HOME-MADE, so price would be on the high side.
      2. Before you put a price tag on it, you need to put into consideration the cost of EVERYTHING that went into bringing out your packaged product from logistic to brand etc Then, multiply by 4 or 5
      3. Also understand that before you can actually see good profit, its either you make in Large quantity or you make it expensive (Work on your brand)

      See my food business category for more information.

    1. Thanks Ifunaya. I would prepare you use milk flavour. If you are going commercial, you must think of expenses, equity and Profit.
      However, if it is just for the family or the customer is paying, you can use little condensed milk.

    1. Hello Chacha.

      Thank you for the compliment. Ok, The groundnut you used is not toasted; you fried it with; So don’t expect it to be to come out as hard.

      For it to be hard, don’t eat it while it is hot. Let it cool down for hours. You probably ate it too soon.. lollllll

  41. Thank you Chef Wale. I would like to know the following
    1. Which is the best sugar to use? confectioner or granulated?
    2. Can i used a powdered vanila flavour?
    3. Can i add milk and milk flavour

    Thanks for your kind response

    Reply

    1. Thank you for reaching out;
      For Sugar: Think about Cost of production and these will help you to choose.
      You can add powder vanilla flavour to the Flour but I prefer liquid flavour to the egg mixture
      Milk flavor is good. It can be missed with the vanilla flavour.

      Have a nice weekend.

    1. Hello Modupe. The real question is: why do you want to soak it in hot water for 15mins? Is it to kill microorganisms or are you trying to develop a new type of peanut burger?

      As I always say, there are no rules in cooking. Please do that and let me know the outcome However, for me, I don’t soak.

  46. Thank you so much for this recipe. I really wanted to make peanut burger cause by kids love it. but please i really want to know if it can be backed cause my hubby doesn’t eat fried things. thanks

    Reply

    1. Hello Ella, I will prefer you say roast. Groundnut has a lot of oil naturally within it. So, I’m so positive t can be baked.

      You could just check it peridically and shake to bake evenly. Ps: I have not baked before but I know its possible.

      Let me know the feedback. Cheers!

I made peanut burger some days ago, came out terrible…it wasn’t smooth at all and I guess I packed too much cinammon so the taste was something else. Almost gave up on trying but here you are giving it back to me! I’ll try again tomorrow with your recipe. Keep up the good work.

  52. Thanks Chef Wale. I tried it but it looked as if the groundnut inside was not well cooked and it didn’t give me the same size as I wanted. Please why was it so?

    Reply

    1. Hello Lillian and Merry Christmas

      1. Peanut burger is not supposed to be eaten while hot. Before you can feel the hardened groundnut, it must be well cooled.

      2. You fried the flour covered groundnut and you expect it to feel like the one that is roasted?

      3. Lastly, the size is dependent on the amount of flour used in covering it and the size of the groundnut itself.

      Reply

  59. Thank you so much, Chef. Tried it out. It was tasty but not smooth…. though hadn’t come across your blog then. Please what best do I use to package them to look good and expensive. Also I watched a video where no eggs were used but coconut flavour in stead. Thanks

    Do you soak into hot water then sundry ,I have tried this but after frying the peanut was hard (still tasted uncooked,raw )
    Please I need the raw peanuts process(what to do to make the peanuts edible ) before the coating process ,thank you

    Reply

    1. Hello Wunmi. There are two issues here.

      1. Most people immediately after frying starts eating and they complain that it tastes raw. For you to really feel the taste of peanut burger, You are expected to let it cool down completely.

      2. A coated peanut is like eggroll. You have to deep fry on a medium heat. Most people pour into hot oil and remove after 2 minutes jut becaue the flour cover is already brown in colour. You have to give it time to be done before you remove from fire. To know more; Kindly read up on my post: How to fry like a professional chef

      Happy Easter. You can rinse with salt and warm water and dry under the sun before you start preparation.

    1. Hello Wumi,

      Sincerely, I have not tried that before. If you do not want to fry with oil, You can air-fry. It’s better and more crispy. Happy Easter and Stay Safe.

      Reply

    1. Hello Wendy,

      like I have said in the comment severally, You need to allow it completely cool down probably for an hour or two before eating.

      Also, If you wash your raw groundnut before using, you will need to dry completely before using.

      Stay Safe. Chef Wale cares.

  74. Thanks a lot for this. Please my peanut usually comes out very hard, dry and too strong, with white patches on it. What causes it, please? Usually looking unatractive. Again which is the sweetest sugar? I noticed that Dangote sugar usually doesn’t come out sweet easily until you add more than you will add for other brands of sugar.
