Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them. Mix in the pure maple syrup, milk, and cooled melted butter.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of the bars and allow it to set before slicing.
