In the food processor, mix together the pitted dates, walnuts, oats, chia, flax, cinnamon and salt until a fine crumb appears.
Add the honey and tahini to the processor and mix again. Empty to a large mixing bowl. Add any of the optional ingredients if using.
Roll into walnut-sized balls. Place onto a prep sheet, sprinkle the coconut all over and roll them so that the coconut coats the balls.
Refrigerate for about 1 hour to harden. I freeze them at this point and take a few out each day as needed.
