- If you love Maple Bars but have only ever bought them from a bakery, this video will inspire you to make them Homemade. It's a step by step recipe for the most delicious melt-in-your mouth maple bars made from scratch. Read on for the recipe.
Homemade Maple Bars
For the donuts:
1/2 cup warm water
3/4 cup warm milk
2 tsp. dry active yeast (1 packet)
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar (you'll use the 1 Tbsp. seperately)
1/2 tsp. salt
5 large eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled & cut into smaller pieces
5 1/2 cups all purpose flour
Plus plenty of oil for frying (peanut oil, canola oil, or any oil with a high heat point.)
For the maple glaze:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. corn syrup
2 tsp. maple extract
2 cups powdered sugar
(You may want to double the recipe for the glaze)
Place yeast in small bowl and add the warm water, warm milk, and 1 Tbsp. of sugar. Mix to combine and let stand approximately 10 minutes until yeast activates and becomes frothy.
In bowl of stand mixer, combine flour, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar. Make sure to use the hook attachment. Pour in activated yeast mixture, add eggs, and mix on medium speed until dough is fully combined. This should only take a few minutes. Add in butter and continue mixing until butter is fully incorporated and dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl. (Feel free to add a little flour if necessary, but no more than a few tablespoons.) Take dough out of the bowl and quickly grease the bowl with a little oil to prevent sticking. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and place in the warmest area of your home. Let rise approximately 1 hour until dough has doubled in size.
Punch down dough, reshape into ball and let rise a second time. (Letting the dough rise a second time is what's going to make these donuts light and airy on the inside.)
After second rise, punch down and place dough on lightly floured surface and with a rolling pin roll out to form a large rectangle that's 3/4" thick. Use a knife or pizza cutter and cut dough along the middle lengthwise, then across to make 12 bars. Place cut pieces onto floured baking sheets and let rise 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a large cast iron pot or dutch oven. (Oil should be at least 2 inches deep) When it reaches 360º, or when it's very hot, but not smoking, begin frying maple bars. Let them turn golden brown before flipping them over and frying the other side. Remove from oil and place on rack lined with paper towels so that excess oil can drain. Once all maple bars are fried, let them cool completely.
To make glaze, heat a large skillet or saucepan on the stovetop over medium high heat and melt butter, brown sugar, milk and 1 Tbsp. of syrup, stirring the whole time. When fully melted, add in powdered sugar and continue mixing until left with a smooth glaze. Immediately remove from heat, and mix in 2 tsp. maple extract. Once fully combined, pour glaze into dish large enough to fit maple bars, and begin dipping each maple bar one at a time, top side only. Return glazed maple bars to rack and let set. And enjoy!
*Note, if glaze thickens, return to heat and feel free to add a little more milk to thin out.

@@marcyinspired1442 Do you ever make Gluten-free recipes?
@@jolenecreech7648 Sorry, I don't. I'll do Keto-friendly recipes from time to time, but not gluten-free.
These are some huge maple bars! They look delicious!
Thanks
Thank YOU for watching!
I'm surprised you didn't add green chiles to them, lol. They look good.
Miracles do happen! Lol Thanks for watching.
The bars look awesome! I think I can smell them!!
Ha! Thanks.
You did an amazing job with the photography.....Tony might be out of a job! And the recipe looks so delicious.
Haha! It took a lot of fancy editing to make it look better, so Tony has a lot of job security. But thank you!
Delicious, thank you ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Those bars look so so so so yummy! I haven't had a maple bar in forever. Good job thank you for sharing 🙌
Like I said, not perfect, but that's what you get when it's homemade. They were delicious, though. Thanks for watching.
Oh wow, these look so good!!!
They were super yummy. Hope you try the recipe.
Marcy you did awesome without Tony behind the camera! Those bars look delicious. I bet they are just as yummy as your apple fritters. I have everything I need to make them except the maple extract dang it! Will be heading to the store soon. Have a great weekend.
Thank you. I can't wait for Tony to get back, though. I was trying to conceal how stressed out I was! Lol Hope you enjoy some homemade maple bars soon.
OMG these are my favorite
Then this recipe is just for you. Hope you make them.
They look awesome 🤓🙏🏻great production , Marcie
Thanks! That's the magic of good editing, because it definitely was not my photography skills.
Simply put!!! You are amazing at preparing authentic Mexican Food. Thank You for your wonderful videos.
You are too kind! Thank you so much for watching.
We tap Maple trees every spring at State Park....also we have a cider mill for fall.... Michigan here. I love maple flavor and Windsor Canada is across the river so we have Tim Hortons and I love maple cream cookies.
Wow! That is so cool. I've only ever seen that on TV. You're fortunate to live there. My husband and I went to a farmer's market in Canada once and noticed jugs of maple syrup that were, literally, chained to the table so no one could run off with it. We figured it was liquid gold.
Blessings to you also, Marcy 🙋
I make all my breads, but never have tried maple bars🤔😄 so I will try tomorrow!! Thanks do much, you are easy yo follow, have made alot of your reciepes. Take care, love

Hi Marsay! That's good to hear. I find so much joy in baking bread. I want others to experience the same satisfaction, without feeling intimidated by it. Thanks for the encouragement.
I remember so many years ago - maybe 60 - that a neighbor made maple bars and my friend and I would gravitate to her house for an afternoon snack. I remember the wonderful taste. My mom made the best homemade doughnuts, but ohh those maple bars. Thanks for the easy recipe.
What a sweet memory! I enjoyed reading your comment. My mom used to make doughnuts and cream puffs when I was growing up, but she never made maple bars. In fact, I don't think I ever had them until much later in life. They sure are fantastic.
❤. Yummy 😋
Thank you 😋
Those are some big Maple bars! Next time try apple fritters.
I know! They were gi-normous! Lol Here's a link to my apple fritters: ua-cam.com/video/7tThDcJqXJU/v-deo.htmlsi=aBPEHxhF8CtB1dDo
Looks delicious, mine would be chocolate and coconut together ❤️
That sounds like something I'd want to try.
There's a donut store here in NM called Daylight Donuts. They make the best white cake Donuts. It's got chocolate frosting and coconut on top and they are my favorite 😍
I bet your friend wants to move in now lol I would between all your woundful mexican cooking and now donuts. Can I be your friend 👋
Ha! The more friends, the merrier! Although, I do ruin everyone's diets. Lol
Hi Marcy, I know it's been awhile since you made this video but, I was just wondering if you could bake the maple bars in the oven instead of doing it in the oil. I so hope you get my message and can let me know. Good luck on your move and can't wait to see more of your videos. God bless
I'm trying to figure out how you videoed that by yourself, like the side shots at the stove that pan down. Wow! I was going to ask if your friend was there helping you video, but then you said she wasn't there yet. These look amazing, too, but I can't make them because I'll eat them all.
My friend arrived in time to see me making the glaze, so I actually did have her get two shots for me at the very end. But everything else is the magic of editing. You can zoom in or out, and have it pan up, down, left, or right, simultaneously. It's pretty amazing how much you can do now. Still, it was a lot for me to try to do by myself, as I was having to reposition the camera constantly. Next time I do it, I'm definitely sticking to a simpler recipe!😅
@@marcyinspired1442 Gotcha. I'm learning photography and try to figure out how a photo was taken, but I know nothing about video. I do know it all takes a lot of time, though. :)
