# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease and line an 20×20 cm baking pan with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly mixed.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, maple syrup, milk, and cooled melted butter until smooth and homogenous.
04 -
Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined without overmixing.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Whisk powdered sugar with milk to create the glaze and drizzle it over the cooled bars.
# Extra Suggestions:

For enhanced flavor, substitute melted butter with brown butter. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smoother batter. Adjust glaze consistency by varying the amount of milk or powdered sugar.
