Bring the water, milk and salt to a simmer.

In a skillet, melt the butter and add the oatmeal.

Cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until it becomes aromatic and slightly golden around the edges.

Add to the milk. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring once in a while.

Keep cooking for another 10 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed. If you are using old fashioned oats, they will cook much faster.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet.

Add the brown sugar and whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Cut the bananas into circles and add to the skillet.

Cook until the bananas are slightly golden.

Add a splash of rum and vanilla.

Serve over the oatmeal. You can also mix it in with the oatmeal so it would be distributed evenly.
