Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, pure maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth while the bars cool.
  8. Spread the glaze over the cooled bars and allow it to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares.
