Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Donut Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk to create a glaze, adjusting consistency as needed.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the bars and allow to set before slicing.
