Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, pure maple syrup, whole milk, and melted butter until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
  6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk until smooth, and drizzle over your cooled bars.
