       Cranberry Flax Breakfast Cookies
       Prep Time: 30 minutes
       Makes: 48 cookies. Freezes well for up to three months.
       Ingredients
       •2 cups (500 mL) coarsely crushed bran flakes
       •2 cups (500 mL) rolled oats (preferably large flake)
       •2 tbsp (30 mL) ground flaxseed
       •1 tbsp (15 mL) ground cinnamon
       •1/4 cup (60 mL) SPLENDA® Brand Brown Sugar Blend
       •1 cup (250 mL) unsweetened applesauce
       •1/2 cup (125 mL) nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt
       •1 tsp (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
       •1 large egg
       •1/2 cup (125 mL) skim milk powder
       •1 tsp (5 mL) baking powder
       •1 tsp (5 mL) baking soda
       •1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries
       •1/4 cup (60 mL) coarsely chopped dried apricots
       •1/2 cup (125 mL) slivered almonds
       •1/4 cup (60 mL) sunflower seeds
       
       Directions
       •Position the racks in your oven to divide the oven into thirds
       and preheat to 350˚F (180˚C). Line two large baking
       sheets with parchment paper.
       •In a large mixing bowl, combine bran flakes, rolled oats,
       flaxseed, cinnamon and SPLENDA® Brown Sugar Blend; stir to
       combine. Set aside.
       •In another large mixing bowl, combine applesauce, yogurt,
       vanilla, egg and skim milk powder; whisk until blended.  Add
       baking powder and baking soda; mix until combined. Gradually add
       bran flake mixture to applesauce mixture.  Add dried
       cranberries, apricots, almonds and sunflower seeds; mix well.
       Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
       •Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Let stand for 5 minutes
       before removing from pans. Cookies will firm up as they stand.
       Store loosely covered.
       
       Variation
       •For a hint of chocolate, substitute dried apricots with 1/2 cup
       (125 mL) chocolate chips.
