Combine the processed oats, almond butter, ground flaxseed, salt, chopped dates, dried fruits, and nuts in a large bowl.
Divide the mixture evenly into the liners, using about 1-1.5 tablespoons per cup to get around 20-22 mini cups.
Place the cups in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
Remove the mini cups from the fridge and pour a small amount of the melted chocolate over each mini cup.
Once set, remove the mini oat cups from the liners and enjoy!
