Combine 1 cup of oatmeal, 2/3 cup of shredded coconut, 1/2 cup of flax seed meal, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and 1/4 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips in a mixing bowl.

Add 1/3 cup of agave nectar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of peanut butter to the bowl.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, using a spoon or by hand.

Optionally, refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up before rolling into balls.

Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls using your hands, or eat directly with a spoon.

Store the energy balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
