Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup milk (whole or non-dairy)
1/4 cup melted butter (cooled)
For glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the maple syrup, milk, and melted butter.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
Once the bars are done, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the glaze.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use dark maple syrup.
These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Feel free to add nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
