The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 warm 2 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon nut butter
- 2 mix into the crumbs and press firmly into a lined pan
- 3 chill 20 minutes before cutting
If it's still wrong
- serve as granola over yogurt
- press into small clusters for trail mix
Prevent next time
- use enough binder to lightly coat all dry ingredients
- press very firmly before chilling
Notes
Why this works
Sticky binders glue the oats and nuts into a bar. Warming and pressing increases contact so the mixture sets into clean slices.
