To the bowl of a food processor, add all ingredients except chocolate chips (if using). Pulse, then process on low for 1-2 minutes, until mixture is more processed (it's okay if you can still see whole oats).
1 cup almond butter, 1 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, 1/4 cup honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
If desiring chocolate chips, remove the food processor blade, add chocolate chips, and stir in to the dough (it will be thick).
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the dough, then use clean hands to roll into balls.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy!
