Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, pecans, pepitas, coconut flakes, salt, and cinnamon. Toss to mix evenly.
Pour in maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until all dry ingredients are coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared pan and bake for 12–14 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant.
Let cool completely on the pan. Chop dried cherries and mango, then stir them into the cooled muesli.
Serve with milk, yogurt, or fresh fruit, or store for later use.

Notes

Toast the mixture for deeper flavor and extra crunch.

Swap nuts for seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version.

Use honey instead of maple syrup for a slightly richer sweetness.

Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, or dark chocolate chips for extra texture and nutrition.

Store cooled muesli in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Enjoy dry, with milk, or soaked overnight for a softer texture.
