Simple Muesli

Apparently muesli is a common breakfast in Europe and Australia but I actually got addicted to it while visiting Thailand. I had muesli with fruit and yogurt for breakfast for basically a month straight and still can't get enough of it so now I make it at home. Very simple to make too!


Place all ingredients in a large bowl and toss with a spoon or hands.
 

At this point, if you choose, place mixture in a 9x13 oven safe pan and toast for 15 to 20 minutes at 350F degrees, making sure to toss mixture ever 5 minutes or so to evenly toast and prevent burning.
 

But I just like to eat mine as is, untoasted. Raw oat flakes are surprisingly good! Store in a convenient container.
 

Serve on top of fruit and top with yogurt. Mmm breakfast, the reason I get out of bed!
