Same with Diane. There should be an egg in the mix to hold together. Great taste.

The flavor is good but these do not stay together as bars. They end up being 2 layers of loose peanut butter flavored dry oats with a layer of jam in between. Also, the directions leave out the use of 2 ingredients - the baking soda and salt. Any suggestions on either what to do with this crumbly mess or how to fix them would be greatly appreciated!

I made them and really enjoyed them but do agree they are a bit dry and crumbly. I made them again and modified the recipe to add more protein and fiber and included some additional binding ingredients to make the bars much more stable and solid. 🔹Base 100g rolled oats 80g PBfit powder 20g milled flaxseed 1 tbsp chia seeds 2 tbsp coconut oil (melted) as a binder 1.5–2 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup 5-6 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (adjust to bind) 1 tsp cinnamon Optional: pinch of salt or ½ tsp vanilla extract 🔹Berry Layer 120g frozen raspberries 1 tbsp chia seeds 1 tsp maple syrup (optional) Pinch of turmeric and cinnamon 🔹Topping Remaining oat mixture crumbled Optional 60g dark chocolate (70–85%), melted 5g crushed walnuts or pumpkin seeds 1 tsp flaxseed crunch or coconut flakes (optional)
