Toasted Muesli
Toasted muesli is a yummy breakfast that's faster than overnight oats, and healthier than granola. I love the fresh texture and beautiful flavors and colors in my morning cereal. Muesli is a nutrient dense high energy start to the day.

Instructions
make the meusli
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix together in a large bowl the oats and all the nuts.
- Spread the mixture out on 2 baking sheets and toast for 12-15 minutes, until fragrant and just beginning to take on color. Give each pan a stir once during cooking.

Cup of Yum
to make muesli parfaits
- Spoon a layer of muesli on the bottom of your glass or jar.
- Add milk of your choice to the jar, just to cover the muesli.
- Add a layer of yogurt.
- Top with more fresh fruit and a garnish of chopped nuts or seeds.
- The parfaits can be covered and stored overnight, or eaten right away. If you choose to store them overnight I would add the fresh fruit topping just before serving.
