In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth and slightly runny.
Pour the warmed peanut butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well-incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out small mounds of the mixture (about 1–1.5 tablespoons each) and place them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
Gently press down on each mound with your fingers to shape them into cookie-like discs.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
