Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick should come out clean.
Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely before glazing.
