Chocolate Granola with Peanuts

Here's a chocolate-y granola recipe which I haven't tried yet, but will let you know how it goes – it's hard to go wrong with chocolate and peanut flavors! If you give this a try, please let me know how it turns out!

Ingredients:
1/4 C. cocoa powder
4 1/2 C. rolled oats
1 C. sunflower seeds
1/2 C. white sesame seeds
3/4 C. apple compote or applesauce
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger powder
1/3 C. brown rice syrup or rice malt syrup
1/4 C. honey
3/4 C. light brown sugar
2 C. unsalted peanuts
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. canola oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Stir ingredients well in a large mixing bowl. Spread the mixture evenly between two baking sheets. Bake for 40-60 minutes. Take out after 20-30 minutes, mixing granola around, and place back in oven switching baking sheets to opposite racks. Watch closely so granola doesn't get overdone. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.

Angel's Tip: In a pinch, if you can't find brown rice syrup, pancake syrup may do the trick.
