Barbara - I just got a recipe for Granola off Kingarthurflour.com but I'm afraid it's rather IBS UNfriendly. It uses shredded coconut, chopped nuts, 1/2 c oil (wow!), hulled sunflower seeds, and mixed dried fruits.

It's roasted in the oven for 1 hr at 300 or 1.5 hrs at 275, or 2 hrs at 250. The recipe makes 5 lbs.

You can probably really chop the nuts fine (like in a mini food processor) as well as the seeds. The oil, tho, could be a problem. Maybe cut down (like Heather said) on the oil and increase the syrup or honey. Don't know if fruit puree would work--might make everything too soggy. I've never tried to make it because it's not one of my favorites.

Trader Joe's has a FF strawberry/apple granole that I used to eat, but since following Heather's diet, I haven't purchased it and I don't know what ingr it has in it. I'm going to Modesto April 8 and will probably go to TJ's and will look at the label for us.

Sorry I couldn't give you a usable recipe.
