# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until smooth and fully incorporated.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix to maintain tender texture.
05 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
06 - Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden.
07 - Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
08 - Whisk together powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Add more milk as needed to reach a thick but pourable consistency. Stir in maple syrup for flavor.
09 - Once the bars are completely cool, drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the top using a spoon or piping bag.
10 - If desired, drizzle extra maple syrup over the glazed bars for added sweetness and presentation.
11 - Allow glaze to set for 10-15 minutes, then slice into 12-16 bars and serve.
