    In another bowl, combine cereal, almonds, sunflower seeds, raising, dried apricots, flour, wheat germ, flax, cinnamon, bakind soda and salt and stirr well.

    Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and stir just until mixed.

    Use a 1/3-cup measure to scoop batter into mounds on the prepared sheet pan. Flatten mounds slightly with lightly greased hands or the back of a spoon.

    Chef’s Tip: In a hurry? Instead of chopping dried fruit, pulse apricots and raisins in the small bowl of a food processor until desired consistency.
