Muesli with Dried Fruits, Nuts and Seeds

My husband once told me that there was one particular restaurant in the world he would like to try, and that he had read some great reviews on it. "Fantastic" I thought, he really has come a long way since eating dry pasta and cucumbers (as a main dish...I kid you not). Then he told me..."It's this breakfast place where the only thing on the menu is cereal and nothing else, just hundreds of types of muesli and breakfast cereals".  I should have guessed, because you see....my husband is a breakfast fan and when I say "breakfast fan" I mean bordering on obsessive. He goes to bed at night looking forward to waking up and eating his breakfast. I don't know anybody that is like that (do you?). In London I always buy organic muesli from health food stores as they have a fantastic selection. In Iceland however the only thing available is something that resembles saw dust with particularly uninteresting ingredients (a couple of nuts and raisins scattered between the dusty rolled oats). So when in Iceland I have a dilemma...Jóhannes must have his breakfast muesli and it is not available so the solution is; I make my own and this recipe below is what I make.

Note that in order to make the muesli dust free I use a very large fine mesh sieve. It is not necessary but makes the muesli so nice and dust free!

If you can't find spelt flakes or spelt corn flakes you can buy any other flakes you prefer at your local health food store. Dried bananas can also often be found in the health food store (the ones that are just whole, dried bananas, not the ones that are sliced and covered in honey).

Keep in mind that you can save time by purchasing hazelnuts that have already been toasted and chopped.
