I love the way rosewater smells. While the granola bakes it fills your kitchen. This granola has a wonderful mix of flavors that are soft and spring-like with the scents of orange and rose. —Oat&Sesame

Any substitute for the orange zest?

You could use any citrus zest - orange is my favorite though. You could also use citrus extract if you don't have any fresh citrus.

I was about to make this and realized the measurements for the brown rice syrup and brown sugar are missing... :(
