In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Use a spatula to thoroughly mix all the ingredients until they are evenly combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 20β30 minutes. This helps it firm up for easier shaping.
Once chilled, use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form bite-sized balls (approximately 1 tablespoon of mixture per ball). Roll them gently in your palms to shape.
Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate as you form them.
Optional: Refrigerate the balls for an additional 10β15 minutes to help them set further.
Store the Peanut Butter Oat Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
