Chocolate & Peanut Granola

Ingredients:

1/4 cup best quality cocoa powder
4 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sunflower seeds (raw - or gently toast if you prefer)
3/4 cup white sesame seeds (raw - or gently toast if you prefer)
3/4 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoons ground ginger
1/3 cup brown rice syrup or rice malt syrup (found in the natural foods section of the grocery store)
1/4 cup clover honey or other runny honey
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 cups raw peanuts
1 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil or sunflower oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 310 degrees F.
Mix everything together very well in a large mixing bowl.  Spread the misture evenly on 2 large baking sheets and bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour, turning over the mixture half-way through the baking time.  Allow to cool completely before storing in air-tight containers.

Now... for a tea suggestion with this recipe.... well, my first inclination is to have Irish Breakfast for a hearty black tea complement, but I also think that Vanilla Almond or Consider the Coconut would be incredible.  In my opinion everything goes well with chocolate!
