Is there a recipe for whole wheat baking mix (similar to Bisquick) that uses vegetable oil and not shortening?

I have a recipe for a whole-wheat baking mix that uses a Crisco type shortening but I am searching for a healthier recipe using vegetable oil. This recipe would be used much like Bisquick for making muffins, pancakes and quick breads.

For muffins, pancakes, and quick breads oil would usually be used anyway, so it should work fine. Shortening would be better for things like biscuits and pie crusts that are flaky.

I have used oil instead of Crisco for many years in all my recipes without any problems.
