Ingredients
  

For the donut bars
  • 2 cups gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature Bring to room temperature for smoother mixing
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk Adjust for desired consistency
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy lifting later.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together your gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Make a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Add the eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Gently whisk the wet ingredients together first, then slowly incorporate the dry ingredients until you have a smooth, thick batter.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Glazing and Serving
  1. Whisk all the glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle it over the completely cooled bars. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Let them thaw on the counter before enjoying.
