2. Mix Ingredients: Add rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and salt to the mashed bananas. Stir until everything is well combined.
3. Transfer to Jars: Spoon the mixture into individual serving jars or containers, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for expansion.
