- 4 and 1/2 cups rolled oats
-
1 cup skinless peanuts
-
1 cup sunflower seeds
-
3/4 cup sesame seeds
-
3/4 cup applesauce
-
3/4 cup brown sugar
-
1/3 cup cocoa powder
-
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
-
1/4 cup honey
-
1/2 cup peanut butter
-
2 Tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
-
2 teaspoons cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon salt
Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor if you desire smaller pieces.
Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Spread the mixture evenly over two rimmed cookie sheets.
Bake for about 1 hour - stirring after 30 minutes - until granola is golden brown. Be sure to check after 45 minutes to prevent burning.
Allow granola to cool completely before serving or storing. Enjoy!
