In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything until the oat mixture is fully coated and sticky.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands. Each ball should be about one inch in diameter.
Place the oat balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced out.
Refrigerate the oat balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months.
