- Make sure your ingredients are wet enough, but not too wet. You want it to be wet enough to stick together, but not fall apart. Too crumbly from the start will result in very crumbly bars. Too wet will result in goopy bars. Adjust with extra peanut butter or oats as needed.
- Press hard with your fingers or the back of a spoon into a 8in x 8in dish that has been greased with coconut oil.
