Gather all ingredients: creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, whole rolled oats, desiccated coconut, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Mix the peanut butter, syrup, and vanilla until well combined and smooth in consistency.

Add 1 cup of whole rolled oats, 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixing bowl.

Stir all ingredients together until evenly combined and the mixture sticks together well.

Using clean hands, grab small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls, adjusting the size as desired.

If the mixture is too sticky, add more desiccated coconut or rolled oats. If too dry, add more syrup or vanilla extract.

Roll the energy balls in additional desiccated coconut for a decorative finish.

Taste one of the energy balls to check for flavor and texture.
