Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt, maple syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Jar It Up: Divide evenly between two 16-ounce jars or airtight containers. Leave a little space at the top for toppings.
-
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight (8 hours) to let the oats soften and the flavors meld.

Serve: Stir well before eating. Top with your favorite extras and enjoy cold or warm slightly in the microwave (30-second intervals, stirring in between).
