Steps

  1. Line a small tray or plate with parchment so it is ready for the finished bites.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the rolled oats, the unsweetened cocoa powder, the ground flaxseed and the salt until the cocoa powder is evenly mixed in.
  3. In a second bowl, stir the peanut butter, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
  4. Scrape the peanut butter mixture into the cocoa-oat mixture and stir until no dry cocoa powder streaks remain.
  5. Fold in the chopped dates and the raisins, pressing with the spoon so the fruit is spread through the mix.
  6. Chill the bowl for 15 minutes so the mixture firms and the oats soften slightly.
  7. With damp hands, roll the mixture into 12 balls, about a tablespoon each, and set them on the lined tray.
  8. Chill the bites for 15 minutes more until firm, then serve 3 per person; store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 5 days.
