Step 1

Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F. Grease and line two large oven trays with baking paper.

Step 2

Peel rind from mandarins. Using a small sharp knife, remove the white pith. Cut rind into thick strips. Combine mandarin rind with remaining ingredients except the coconut flakes in a large bowl. Using your hands, squeeze and rub the mixture together to release the oil from the mandarin rind; fold in coconut flakes. Spread mixture evenly between trays.

Step 3

Bake muesli for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally into clumps, or until lightly golden. Cool on trays for 15 minutes to crisp slightly.

Step 4

Serve muesli with milk or yoghurt and fresh fruit such as mandarin and blood orange.
