3. To make the streusel, add walnuts and oats to a food processor. Pulse a few times until it resembles a coarse flour. Add brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and coconut oil. Pulse a few more times until mixture resembles wet sand. Evenly sprinkle the streusel over the oats.
4. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is firm and no longer jiggles.
5. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally drizzle over a simple powdered sugar icing or yogurt thinned with milk.
