Stuff to know
Muesli was invented by the Swiss Zwitser Bircher-Benner around 1900. Muesli became popular in the rest of Europe around 1960. It contains nowadays cereals, barley, spelt as well as nuts, dried fruit, coconut shaving or chocolate bits.
When baked with a sweetener (honey) and oil, it becomes granola.
Enrich the granola with extra nuts before baking or with extra dried fruits after baking.
The amount of honey and nuts is to taste. More honey will make bigger clusters.
Avoid olive oil, whose flavour is too overpowering. Use sunflower oil instead.
