Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later.
In a blender or food processor, puree the diced mango until smooth. You should end up with about 1.5 cups of mango puree.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the mango puree, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the applesauce and egg whites to the dry ingredients and stir together until the mixture is evenly moistened. The mixture should be crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
Reserve 3/4 cup of the oat mixture for later. Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Pour the mango and yogurt mixture over the pressed oat crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved 3/4 cup of oat mixture over the top of the mango layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Allow the mango bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Cut into 12 square bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.
