Measure out your oats. You can use old fashioned, quick oats or even quick steel cut oats for this.
Add your ground flaxseed, seeds and coconut.
In another bowl, mix together the honey, peanut butter and vanilla extract.
Add the peanut butter mixture to the oat mixture and add the chocolate chips and dried fruit, if you're using it. Mix thoroughly.
Pop the mixture in the fridge for a bit, to make it easier to handle - maybe 20-30 minutes.
Remove the mixture from the fridge and scoop out with a cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon and form into a ball. Place each ball into a mini muffin cup for easy storage.
Chill the bites again for about 30 minutes or until they are set nicely.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for later use.
