These delicious maple bars are a perfect treat for any occasion!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted (260g))
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0 teaspoons salt
- 0 cups unsalted butter (softened (113g))
- 0 cups granulated sugar (150g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0 cups milk (120ml)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
- 0 cups pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoons milk (add more for desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper so bars lift out easily.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- With mixer on low, alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with dry. Mix until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan; tap gently to level the top.
- Bake 22–25 minutes, or until the center springs back and a toothpick comes out clean. Rotate pan halfway through baking for even color.
- Allow bars to cool completely in the pan, about 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth and glossy.
- Pour glaze over cooled bars, spreading to edges. Let set 15 minutes at room temperature before slicing into squares.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Adjust the consistency of the glaze by adding more milk as needed.
