Start with 1/2 cup of rolled oats in a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of flax seeds for added texture and nutrition.

Measure out a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar and add it to the oats.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture.

Pour in approximately 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt for creaminess.

Stir the mixture to combine the ingredients.

Pour enough milk over the oats to cover them, adjusting to preference.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight.

After chilling, remove the oats from the fridge and swap with a pre-made batch if desired.

Optionally, add melted butter to the oats before serving to enhance the cinnamon roll flavor.

Microwave the oats until warm, which brings out the aromas of cinnamon and vanilla.

Taste the oats and adjust sweetness or flavor by adding more cinnamon or chopped nuts as desired.

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors before serving.

Serve warm or cold, and consider adding toppings like raisins or additional nuts.
