- Add the ground flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp hearts (use 1 or 2 tablespoons as you prefer), and the tablespoon of peanut butter to the jar.
- Stir everything in the jar until the ingredients are evenly combined. Scrape the sides and top so the peanut butter is mixed in as much as possible.
- Secure the lid and refrigerate the jar for 8 to 12 hours (overnight).
- When ready to eat, remove the jar from the fridge, take off the lid, and stir the oats well. Add an extra splash of almond milk if you want a looser texture.

Notes
For the most nutritional benefit, I recommend using a non-dairy milk to make overnight oats, instead of cow's milk or yogurt. (See the post above with links to the research why.) If you don't have a non-dairy milk on hand, water will work best for mixing.
This recipe works best with old-fashioned rolled oats, instead of quick cooking or steel cut oats.
