Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
In a food processor, blend the rolled oats until they reach a coarse flour-like consistency.
Add the almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the ingredients form a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Use the flat bottom of a measuring cup to press it firmly.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
In a blender, combine the mango cubes, coconut milk, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and agave syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mango mixture over the cooled crust in the baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set completely.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing vegan mango bars.
