Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add the pure maple syrup, milk, and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, folding them together until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the dish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth, then drizzle it over the cooled bars.
