Add to mixing bowl with the dried fruits and condensed milk
Attach the flat beater to stand mixer. Mix on speed 4 for 1 - 2 minutes or until well mixed and coated in the milk. Spread evenly over the baking dish, pressing mixture out. Bake on the centre shelf for 30 minutes.

Toasting your own muesli with a little oil, dramatically reduces the fat content. If desired, toasted muesli can be used and the toasting step removed
