Yes, adbuster. We here at the Whole Earth Granary Organic Bakery make it all the time. Ours is made with raw,local honey, butter and rolled oats. The trick is in the cooking of the granola. It needs to be turned often as you bake it. But it is awesome!! www.wholeearthgranary.com

I haven't made it yet but was planning on using this recipe for granola bars:

with the changes of using oil instead of butter (you could also use coconut oil if you still want the richness). You could also sub agave nectar for honey.

I was also looking at this recipe for granola:

I was going to try this one and alter it a bit:

Jim's Super Granola

(6 servings)    Printable Version

1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup honey
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup popcorn - finely ground
1/8 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons sunflower seeds
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup rasins or other dried fruit
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Toast coconut on parchment for about 6 minutes until lightly toasted. Allow coconut to cool to room temperature.

In a small sauce pan over low heat, stir butter and honey until butter is melted and well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, popcorn wheat germ, sunflower and sesame seeds, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Add honey-butter and peanut butter to the oat mixture and stir until well combined.

Squeeze together a few chunks to create oat clusters.

Cook for 20 to 25 minutes - stirring every 5 minutes.

Remove from oven. Add dry fruit, stir and allow to cool.

Stores well in a sealed container for two weeks.

Makes 3 cups.
