I built a very simple (1x12 top and sides/legs with a 1x6 in between) bench but it seems like it could topple backwards easily. In hindsight, I would have made the base of the legs wider but is there anything I can do now to make it more stable?

Add foot boards
You could get a 1x3 or 1x4, cut 4 pieces about 15" long, and I would cut each end at an angle so they make a trapezoid. Then sandwich each leg with one on each side to give it a wider footprint.
