In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, ground flaxseed, and (if using) mini chocolate chips. Stir to mix evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter and honey together for about 20-30 seconds until softened. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well-coated and holds together.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the balls on the dehydrator trays, ensuring they are spaced out to allow air circulation.
Dehydrate at 135°F (57°C) for 2-3 hours, or until the bites are firm to the touch and dry but still chewy.
Allow the peanut butter bites to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
