Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm baking dish with parchment paper.
Place the dried mango in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes until softened, then drain thoroughly.
In a food processor, combine the soaked mango and pitted dates. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, melted butter or coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt.
Add the mango-date paste to the dry mixture and mix until everything is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula or your hands.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the dish before slicing into bars.
Once cooled, lift the entire slab out of the baking dish using the parchment paper and cut into 12 bars.
Store the mango bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
