In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, mixed seeds, dried fruits, and chopped walnuts.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the frothy yeast mixture, honey, salt, and olive oil.
Use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small bun.
Place the buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart.
Cover the buns with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30-40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Bake the muesli buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
