The OP could cereal mash those oats and get the starches in them fermented, but when you look at the recipe, granola is pretty greasy.
It's not a terrible idea for a flavor profile, but best case scenario he's going to be trying to rack out from under oily scum like the guy who put cream in his wort.
Maybe just make a mild oatmeal stout that has some macerated dried fruits in the secondary and a touch of walnut extract.
In addition to the oil content, granola is cooked. So it would be like making a beer with 100% specialty malts.
