Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Incorporate the maple syrup and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  6. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk and sour cream until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for 30-45 minutes.
  10. Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth and adjust consistency as needed.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars, let set, and then slice into squares.
