Notes
*I used pre-packed mix nuts but you can use your favorite nuts too.**Each amazake has different consistency depending on the companies. You may need to adjust the amount of liquid accordingly. If you find the granola mixture is too dry try adding more coconut oil or apple sauce so that the dry ingredients are coated evenly.***I used pre-packed tropical mix. You can blend your own tropical dried fruits instead such as pineapple, mango or papaya. Chose organic one if you can because dried fruits are often added with sugar, refined oil or artificial additives.
