Instructions

Pour the soy milk and salt into a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir in the oats, maple syrup, raisins, and cranberries. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium.
Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the walnuts and coconut. Allow the oatmeal to stand until it reaches your desired thickness.
Spoon the oatmeal into serving bowls and top with yogurt and honey, if desired.

Notes

Use brown rice for a gluten-free alternative to oats.
Add fresh fruit like berries or banana slices for extra sweetness.
For a fully vegan recipe, use plant-based yogurt and substitute honey with maple syrup.
Top with chia seeds, flaxseeds, or almonds for more crunch.
Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can be added for flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
The oatmeal can be reheated by adding a splash of milk for consistency.
This oatmeal can be frozen for up to 2 months.
