Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, salt, and mini chocolate chips into a large mixing bowl. Stir until all dry ingredients are evenly combined.

Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir slowly with a sturdy spoon or spatula until the ingredients begin forming a thick sticky mixture.

Continue mixing until no dry oats remain and the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more honey or peanut butter. If too sticky, add extra oats.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes to help firm it up and make rolling easier.

Scoop small portions of the chilled mixture and roll gently between your hands to form bite-sized balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.

Refrigerate the rolled energy balls for another 10 to 15 minutes before serving for the best texture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
