Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with greased parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon and whisk until fully mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until edges turn golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until you reach your desired consistency, then drizzle over cooled bars.
