- In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, puffed wild rice, brown sugar, diced dried figs, pecans, almonds, walnuts and salt. Thoroughly mix the dry ingredients using a spatula.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the butter, maple syrup and oil until bubbly.

Aromatic Trail
Milk! Of course, but why not vanilla-flavored soymilk? You could also go the way of Oolong tea.
Aromatic Tricks
This recipe is based on the aromatic path of sotolon, an aromatic compound developed by the roasted nuts of the classic muesli mix. We added dried figs, maple syrup and puffed wild rice, all of which share this sotolon aromatic profile, making this muesli mix even tastier than ever. Use it for breakfast or brunch and even, why not, for dessert!
