- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix together the rolled oats, milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well incorporated.
- Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
