This vegan granola is crisp and light, with the delicate fragrance of jasmine flowers. Los Angeles baker and caterer Loria Stern suggests using organic ingredients and also advises that you take care to source an edible strain of dried jasmine as nonedible varieties are typically sprayed with pesticides. Look for the blossoms in an herbalist or spice shop, or order online from Kalustyan’s. Packing the raw granola onto the baking sheet creates satisfying chunks, so resist the urge to stir as it cooks.
