In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and ground cinnamon. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Using a spatula or your hands, thoroughly mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive dough. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more almond butter or honey/maple syrup, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Continue this process until all the mixture is used up, transferring each ball to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the balls to firm up.
Store the Soy-Free No-Bake Protein Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
