Chocolate and Nut Granola

Saturday morning is a good lineup. Jamie and Nigella on tv. I usually watch, am inspired, and erase. Need to remove for more room. Well, one week Nigella went off on breakfast and I watched her make granola I knew I had to try. Cocoa and all the other ingredients that make up granola, count me in. Ginger for some heat and of course, cinnamon. I made, and I loved. A bit more chocolaty at first, but I've now come to justify the little bit of chocolate compared to all those good ingredients and am fine eating it any old time. I love the hint of salt at the end- sweet and salty are more than delicious to me.



Nigella's Chocolate and Nut Granola:
  • 4 1/2 c. oats
  • 1 c. sunflower seeds
  • 3/4 c. sesame seeds
  • 3/4 c. apple sauce
  • 1/4 c. cocoa
  • ground ginger
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 c. honey
  • 1/3 c. dark or light corn syrup
  • 2 c. nuts
  • 2 T oil
  • 3/4 c. brown sugar
  • 1 t. sea salt
Stir and place on jelly roll pan at 300 for 40 min, stirring half way through if you like. Enjoy!
