Pineapple Upside Down Cake Overnight Oats

​​Overnight oats are a healthy and quick way to start your day. They are an easy recipe to prep ahead of time and make a perfect grab and go breakfast.  One of my favorite ways to prepare overnight oats is using this easy Pineapple Dump Cake Overnight Oats recipe. It tastes similar to traditional pineapple dump cake with way less sugar and butter! The best part is this recipe is so versatile and can be adjusted to your dietary needs.
