Homemade Muesli -- a mix of toasted oats, nuts, and coconut is tossed with dried fruits and enjoyed for breakfast or a snack. Serve Muesli over yogurt, as a cereal replacement with milk, or in overnight oats.
PREP: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large (15x21 inch) sheet pan (or 2 smaller pans) with parchment paper. Set aside.
MIXINGREDIENTS: In a very large bowl, combine all the ingredients except for the dried fruit. Toss until well combined.
BAKE: Spread the mixture into an even layer on the prepared pan(s). Bake for 12-14 minutes, stirring ingredients after 7 minutes. Everything should be lightly golden and fragrant.
COOL: Remove Muesli and let it cool completely. Coarsely chop the tart cherries and dried mango. Once the Muesli is cooled, stir in the dried fruit.
SERVE: Serve Muesli over yogurt or with milk of choice (we love almond milk!). If adding milk, let it stand with the cereal for a few minutes to soften the oats. We also love adding fresh berries and a drizzle of honey.
STORAGE: Let Muesli cool completely and then transfer to an airtight bag or container. Store in a dry, cool area or freeze it. No need to defrost; you can use it straight from the freezer, which helps keep it from getting stale.
