Instructions

Make the oats

In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the oats, milk, salt, if using, and cinnamon, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and most of the liquid is gone, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover with a lid to keep warm.

Make the brown sugar swirl

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter on high power, 15 to 30 seconds. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon.

Make the glaze

In a separate small bowl, stir together the yogurt and confectioners' sugar until smooth. If desired, stir in the vanilla.

Divvy the oatmeal between 4 bowls. Drizzle the butter-sugar mixture over top of the oatmeal, followed by a dollop of the yogurt-sugar mixture. Serve immediately.
