Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a strainer, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Add the drained chickpeas to a food processor.

Add natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, pure maple syrup, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and almond milk to the food processor.

Process until smooth and creamy, pressing down with a spatula as needed.

If the mixture is too sticky, add more rolled oats and reprocess; if too dry, add more almond milk and reprocess.

Transfer the cookie dough mixture to a large mixing bowl.

Add dark chocolate chips to the mixture and mix until well combined.

Scoop about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture using an ice cream scoop and form into balls with your hands.

Repeat with the remaining mixture, yielding about 14 to 16 energy balls.

Chill the energy balls in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes before serving.
