125 grams all-purpose flour
02 -
150 grams granulated sugar
03 -
4 grams baking powder
04 -
1 gram fine salt
05 -
2 grams ground cinnamon
06 -
2 large eggs, room temperature
07 -
120 millilitres pure maple syrup
08 -
120 millilitres whole milk or non-dairy alternative
09 -
60 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
→ Glaze
10 -
120 grams powdered sugar

# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Grease and line an 20×20 cm baking dish with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add maple syrup, milk, and melted butter, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
04 -
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring only until just combined to prevent overmixing.
05 -
Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the centre of the oven for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre emerges clean.
06 -
Allow bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling.
07 -
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk until a thick yet pourable glaze forms.
08 -
Once bars are fully cooled, drizzle glaze generously over the surface. Slice into bars and serve.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For a deeper maple flavour, add a few drops of maple extract to the batter.
02 -
Do not overmix the batter to preserve a tender crumb.
