Step-by-Step Instructions for Soft Baked Maple Donut Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by greasing it and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: eggs, maple syrup, milk, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  8. Once the bars are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set before cutting.
