Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Oil a cookie sheet and set aside. In a mixing bowl, place the flour, oats, fruit, raisins, coconut, baking soda, cinnamon, and allspice. Combine with a wire whisk. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mango puree, sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
