Breakfast Cookies

A healthy hearty cookie!  These are full of lots of yummy stuff.  Everytime I make them it seems I tweak the recipe a bit depending on what I have, and they still always turn out.  They are great for a snack or breakfast :-). These are NOT sweet, so if you find they taste too healthy, you could always increase the amount of sugar.

1 1/4 c. wheat flour
1/2 c. oats
1/2 c. bran flakes
1/4 c. ground flax or wheat germ (optional)
1 c. canned pumpkin
1/4 c. light olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup or brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 c. slivered or chopped almonds

1/3 c. craisins
