Notes

First, consider how you want to lay out your fruit. Do you want to create stripes? A flag? Stars? Something more random? You can have a lot of fun with this, so play around!
Do not use steel-cut oats (they are the wrong texture) and try to use unsweetened coconut. If you have to use sweetened coconut, reduce the amount of sugar that you add to the oats to avoid making the dish too sweet.
You can substitute the strawberries or raspberries for cherries, or just toss in a few. But make sure you pit and halve them if you do. You can use a variety of fruits (it’s more fun!) but if you play around with the fruits, you should make sure you have a red fruit and a blue fruit so you can keep with the Fourth of July theme.
While delicious on its own, you can also serve this with a dollop of yogurt — vegan yogurt or dairy depending on your preferences.
