In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients in this order: old-fashioned oats, fresh runny peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, dark chocolate chips, pecans, coconut, and cinnamon.
Use a spatula or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer to combine all the ingredients until it forms a sticky dough.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes to make it easier to roll into energy bites.
Remove from the fridge, and slightly wet your hands with water before shaping each energy ball to prevent the batter from sticking to your hands. Scoop out about one tablespoon of dough and roll with your hands to shape energy balls.
Place each energy ball onto a plate covered with parchment paper.
The nutrition panel uses 1/2 cup of vegan dark chocolate chips + 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds.
