Need suggestions for joining bench top to legs for wood movement

I am trying to finish a dinning room bench made from shoddy plans. I just realized if I attach a 6 foot alder boards to these bench legs with pocket holes wood movement will likely affect the bench later on.

The leg structure is made of dimensional lumber and the top of the bench will be two 6/4 alder boards joined. The pocket holes are already drilled into the stretchers. How do I fix this to allow for wood movementdifferentialof the legs vs bench top?
