Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in maple syrup, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, keeping the batter slightly lumpy.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cooling, mix the powdered sugar with a splash of milk to create a glaze.
  9. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the bars and let set before serving.
