Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp dark rum, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir well to blend.
2. Step 2: Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soften and absorb flavors.

4. Step 4: Add 1 sliced medium ripe banana and 1 tbsp brown sugar to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the bananas caramelize and soften, and the sugar melts into a syrup.

6. Step 6: Spoon the overnight oats into a serving bowl and top with the warm caramelized bananas and 2 tbsp chopped pecans for crunch before enjoying.
