Anyone tried these? Sound strange but look good. :)

Sounds good, but I haven't tried them. I think the no added sugar bit means no refined sugar. The no oil probably means no shortning, lard, etc. The oil in the peanuts is actually healthy oil, a monounsaturated fat (mufa). It helps you feel more full, and research shows that these kinds of fats help lower bad cholesterol. Even the chocolate, if you use dark chocolate, has health benefits with antioxidents and good, mufas also. There probably is some refined sugar in the chocolate though.

inb4 I hope Acg is just joking/trolling! omg haha.

I've made chickpea cookies before and they actually turned out pretty good, I'll try 'em again sometime with this recipe. Thanks!

FWIW, they sound good, but ACG has a point. There is oil...just no ADDED oil. There is some sort of sugar...just not WHITE sugar. It isn't as healthful as the blogger made it sound, but who cares? They still sound yummy.

Along that same vein are the black bean brownies I tried several months back. They were SO good, and no one at work knew there was anything "up." :-)

"Please read the following before asking a question! It will probably answer your question.

Tons of people have posted the nutritional analysis for these. They’re supposedly anywhere between 80-130 calories, which seems like a huge range to me. Please use a recipe analyzer like on CalorieCount if you need more information.
You can use almond butter, sun butter, or whatever nut butter like you.
The peanut butter should be the kind with only peanuts and salt. No added fat or sugar. Be careful because there are some “natural” brands out there which aren’t really natural. I find that this peanut butter is usually expensive so I make my own. You can make your own in only 5 minutes with a food processor. Check that out here.
Chickpea flour won’t work. I don’t think plain hummus will either.
I haven’t tried anything other than chickpeas but others have used butter beans, navy beans, red kidney beans, great northern beans, and lentils with success. I generally don’t like goodies made with those types of beans but I love these cookies made with chickpeas. Please use chickpeas unless you have an allergy!
Doing this in a blender (unless it’s a Blendtec blender or something equally powerful) won’t work and might kill the blender.
Adding random stuff like eggs… probably won’t work either. Experimenting is great but I think this is a bad recipe to experiment with. But thanks to the experimenters who left feedback, I’ve been able to update the recipe with alternatives to honey and peanut butter. Thanks everyone!
For a totally sugar free version, use 30 drops of Stevia and cacao nibs.
Do not double the recipe! It might be too much for your machine and could damage it.
For a vegan version, you can’t use honey. Use agave.
For a dairy-free version, use Enjoy Life chocolate chips. They’re just as delicious as regular chocolate chips. SO good!"

these cookies look yuck...I'll stick to the real things and make them fit into my daily calories...

I liked the ones I tried But to each their own. I eat -ALL- the foodz, including substitutions simply cuz I like the creativity of it.

because we all know that once you "add fat and sugar" they immediately become "bad" even though peanut butter already has fat and sugar in it…

*facepalm*

Just like to point out I never personally said fat, sugar, oil etc was bad. Just quoting the article for the people who only read the headline and called foul because in most peanut butters they add oil. That is all.
