  • Combine peanut butter mixture into rolled oats mixture and gently incorporate until small crumbles begin to stick together. (Add more peanut/butter if your mixture is too dry and not coming together, or more oats if it is too wet. Sometimes you have to play around a bit to get the consistency you like).
