Step 1
In a bowl, mix together the milk, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the oats until everything is well combined. Cover the mixture and pop it in the fridge overnight to soak.
Step 2
The next morning, mash two of the bananas and stir them into the oat mixture. Slice the remaining banana into thin rounds.

Divide the oats into bowls or small jars, then top each with the banana slices, some pecans, and a dollop of yogurt if you like. Enjoy!
How To Enjoy This Dish
Enjoy it chilled straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a softer texture. Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance the flavors.
Leftover Care Tips
Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for too long to keep it fresh and safe to eat. Stir well before serving if it has been stored for a while.
