For the banana simple syrup

- Once thick, remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Stir until combined. Add Nutella. Chill for 2-3 hours until firm.
For the graham cracker crust

Notes
- You can swap out the oat milk for regular milk and simply remove the tapioca.
- If you prefer not to use as much tapioca but still use oat milk, you can swap one tbsp out and only use egg yolks. Fair warning, it will be delicious, but will not set entirely. If you go this route, it's best to not make this into a pie, but rather individual servings of pudding with a graham cracker bottom.
