Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Soft Baked Maple Donut Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until combined.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add maple syrup, milk, and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly for uniform baking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment and cool completely.
  8. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled bars.
  9. Slice into squares and enjoy your Soft Baked Maple Donut Bars.
