Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool and glaze: Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, maple syrup, maple extract, and milk. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
