I made this on 1/22/11 I used walnuts rather than pecans & rasins rather then cranberries. (I didn't have pacans & cranberries) I plan to make this again I cooked it over the 30min next time I will cook at 30min they were slightly over cooked.

2. Place the oats, shredded wheat, walnuts, dried fruit, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped (the dried fruit will be the size of a dried pea or lentil).
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, and vanilla. Add the oatmeal mixture and chocolate chips and stir to combine.
4. Transfer to the baking pan and flatten down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to spread evenly.
