Mornings can be hectic, so this make-ahead recipe means one less thing you need to do before you start your day. As an added bonus, this healthy and delicious overnight breakfast recipe will have your house smelling like freshly baked apple pie when you wake up in the morning.

It’s a good day for this recipe because it’s National Gluten-Free Day! I know there is some controversy about gluten and oats so if you are concerned, you can purchase gluten-free oats for this recipe.

This recipe also fits into the slow cooker month theme so it’s a big win-win! Enjoy!
