1-Gathering and Mixing: First, grind 2 1/4 cups of old fashioned or rolled quick oats finely using a blender or food processor to create a smooth base. This helps the mixture bind together without any lumps.

2-Gathering and Mixing: Next, add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips: 1/2 teaspoon finesea salt, 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice, 1/4 cup chia seeds, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup pumpkin puree, and 1/4 cup maple syrup. Blend everything until it forms a thick, slightly sticky dough.

3-Gathering and Mixing: Then, incorporate the 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips by pulsing a few times to mix them in without over-blending.

4-Shaping and Chilling: Shape the mixture into about 20-22 balls using a tablespoon measure or by hand for uniform sizes.

5-Shaping and Chilling: Place the balls on a tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm them up.
