Take the assorted grains that you like.. . . [rolled oats, puffed
rice, chia, flax, wheat berries. . . ]
Add the assorted nuts that you like. [walnuts, almonds, pine nuts,
pecans, peanuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds. . .toasted or raw ]

Toss in the assorted dried [or not] fruits that you like. [raisins,
chopped dates, apricots, figs, cherries, craisins. . . . ]

Bran, wheat germ. . .

Toss together in the amounts that appeal to you. Some will soak in
milk or yogurt overnight. I like it crunchy so I add the milk,
[cow, goat, coconut, almond. . . ] or yogurt in the morning.
Kefir is supposed to be good for you & some folks like their muesli
with it.

A shake of cinnamon feels good some mornings-- a bit of cardamom on
others-- and a grate or two of nutmeg never hurt anything. Every so
often it gets a squeeze of honey.

There are no rules.
