Accidentally low-balled myself to the recruiter during the phone screen– is it too late to go back and say my minimum salary is 10k higher than what I said?

New grad with a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering. I originally told the recruiter 60k was my minimum during the phone screen for this position (I hadn’t done research at that point/wasn’t expecting the question/was kind of like a deer in headlights) but after talking to my partner/other colleagues, I’m realizing I low-balled myself and I should be asking for a min of ~70k given my resume/location. I have the final on-site interview later today, and I’m nervous that if I get an offer, it will be too late & I’ve pigeonholed myself into a lower starting salary. How should I approach this?
