Preheat your oven to 175 °C if baking or heat oil to 175 °C if frying.
In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
In another bowl, mix milk, eggs, melted butter, and maple syrup.
Combine wet and dry ingredients gently until just moistened.
For baking, pour into a greased 9x13-inch pan and bake for about 18–22 minutes. For frying, scoop spoonfuls into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden.
Drain fried bars on a rack. Let cool before glazing.
For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk to reach a pourable consistency. Drizzle over the bars and let set for 15–20 minutes.
Notes
Tip: Mixing just until combined prevents dense bars. Let bars cool before glazing to avoid sliding.
