Mmm... Muesli!

All you've got to do is mix everything up and pop it in the oven for a while. Perhaps some chopping as well, but that's so easy so it barely counts. With that minimal amount of work, you get the most amazing muesli. So why would you choose to by it? In my opinion at least, more store-bought muesli tastes like cardboard, with a hint of fake aromas and sugar. Give making your own muesli a chance, it couldn't be simpler, and if you store it in a pretty jar it'll look great. Homemade muesli is a great gift too, either to someone else or to your self! You can also put pretty much anything in it, if you don't like cranberries for example, take something else instead! That's the beauty of making it yourself; it turns out the way you want it. This recipe is one of my favorite.

For a lot of muesli:
2 dl rye flakes
2 dl oats
2 dl spelt flakes
1 1/2 dl sunflower seeds
1 dl flaxseeds
1 1/2 dl shredded coconut
1 1/2 dl pumpkin seeds
2 dl buckwheat
1 1/2 dl sesame seeds (take half black sesame seeds if you can get ahold of them)
3 dl (200 g) chopped almonds (if you're not allergic like me, take different kind of nuts. Then you can probably take around 4 dl instead)
1/2 tbsp. ground cardamon
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 dl vegetable oil (choose on that doesn't taste too much)
1 dl water
1 1/2 dl dried cranberries
1 1/2 dl raisins
1 1/2 chopped dried apricots
1 dl finely chopped dates

Mix all the ingredients, except the dried fruit, in a BIG oven-proof dish and roast in a 225 degree oven. It can take about 25 minutes, but give it a stir every 5 minutes so it doesn't burn. When it's a nice golden brown and muesli is all dry, take it out of the oven. Allow to cool and add the dried fruit. Yum yum!
