Step 1

Whisk together the oats, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the milk, peanut butter, yogurt and vanilla, and stir to combine. Divide the oatmeal mixture into two containers. Editor's Tip: Mix the ingredients in the individual containers to dirty one less dish. Simply add half of each ingredient to each container and stir (or shake if you're using a lidded jar) to combine. A Mason jar or small food storage container with a lid makes an excellent vessel for overnight oats.

Step 2

Seal each container with a lid and refrigerate overnight. Add your favorite toppings before serving. Editor's Tip: Let the overnight oats sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes before serving to soften and make them easier to scoop. If your oats are too thick after soaking overnight, stir in a splash of milk.
