This is a take on Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate and Peanut Granola. I gave the recipe to my mom this year and she gave them away as presents to her friends at the yoga center. She wanted to make something that was good, but easy to do as well.
It turned out really good. And because she does not eat chocolate anymore, she added carob powder instead of the cocoa powder.
CAROB GRANOLA
1/4 cup carob powder
4 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sunflower seeds, shelled
3/4 cup sesame seeds
3/4 cup applesauce
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup brown rice syrup
1/4 cup honey
3/4 cup light brown sugar
2 cups raw peanuts or raw almonds
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons canola oil
