Mule is spoilt with dish of rolled oats, nuts, fruit, etc. (6)

I believe the answer is:

muesli

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dish of rolled oats nuts fruit etc' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'mule is spoilt' is the wordplay.
'spoilt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mule'+'is'='muleis'
'muleis' with letters rearranged gives 'MUESLI'.

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for muesli that I've seen before include "Breakfast mixture of oats, nuts, fruit etc" , "Breakfast food of cereals, fruits, nuts etc" , "Breakfast mixture of dry cereals and fruits" , "Type of breakfast cereal" , "Swiss breakfast?" .)
