- 2 tablespoons peanut butter

Instructions
- Mix ingredients: Combine the oats, flax seeds, and cinnamon in a mason jar or a bowl.

- Incorporate peanut butter: Drop in the peanut butter and gently mix it around to create swirls without fully blending it in.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
