Place the pitted dates and dried fruit in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a sticky paste, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
Add the rolled oats, almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to the food processor. Blend until everything is combined into a uniform dough-like consistency.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Using clean hands, scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, forming approximately 12 balls.
Place the shredded coconut on a plate. Roll each donut hole in the coconut to coat it evenly.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy as a snack or a light dessert!
