• 3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix! Keep mixing until the wet binding ingredients are as well distributed as possible. Put some muscle into it!
• 4. Put the mixture into a shallow pan and flatten it down. Done and done!
• 5. Cut them into about 12 bars (they are probably a bit crumbly still, but don't worry - the fridge will bind them!) and store them in the fridge. You can either just store them together in the big pan (covered with foil) or separately wrap them for easy grabbing and going!
