Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine cereal, flour, wheat germ, walnuts, apricots, seeds, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in food processor. Blend until cereal is fairly crumbly/almost a flour. Raisins and apricot should still be somewhat formed. In a separate medium-large bowl combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, orange juice, and almond butter. Add dry mixture to wet ingredients and stir until well blended.
- Form medium ball and shape mixture into about a 1.25″ x 3-3.5″ rectangle bar. Place bars on non-stick cookie sheet and place in oven. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely. Store in an air tight container.

- Variations:.
- Chocolate Chip Cookie: Replace the dried fruit with an equal amount of semisweet miniature chocolate chips (or carob chips). Combine the cereal mixture with the syrup mixture, then let the combined mixture stand 10 minutes before adding the chips.
- Peanut Butter Cookie: Use chopped dates for the dried fruit and dry roasted peanuts for the nuts. Use honey, or half honey-half molasses for the syrup and peanut butter for the nut butter.
- Will You Cherry Me? Use chopped dried tart cherries for the fruit and lightly salted roasted almonds for the nuts. Use any nut butter (almond butter is great, but I know, very expensive, and add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract.
- Apple Pie: Use chopped dried apples for the fruit and rice syrup or honey for the syrup. Be sure to add the cinnamon option, and use toasted walnuts or pecans for the nuts.
