Instructions

In a mason jar, small bowl, or container, combine the rolled oats, milk, yogurt (if using), brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir or shake well to combine.
Seal the container with a lid or cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight, or for at least 6 hours, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
In the morning, stir the oats. If you like them a little looser, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey, and enjoy!

Notes

Customize with your favorite fruit such as apples, berries, or bananas.Use maple syrup or honey as an alternative sweetener to brown sugar.Add chia seeds or chopped nuts for extra fiber and crunch.For a chocolatey twist, mix in cocoa powder or mini chocolate chips.
