This granola is so good you can have it for dessert.  Go ahead, I won't tell anybody.

¾ cup sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup soy milk
½ cup canola oil
½ cup peanut butter
½ teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

5 cups rolled oats (aka old fashioned)
½ cup oat bran
1 cup chopped walnuts

1)
Preheat the oven to 300F (149C).  In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, soy milk, canola oil, peanut butter, salt and vanilla extract. 

2)
Stir in the rolled oats, followed by the oat bran, followed by the walnuts. 

3)
Place the mixture on a baking tray and spread it out flat.  Bake for 30 minutes, or until the granola starts to dry.  If using two baking sheets, switch racks halfway in between baking  time.  Remove from the oven and let cool. 

4)
Break up the bunches of granola into smaller pieces and transfer to a large bowl.  Transfer to a covered container.
Makes about 8 cups of granola.
