Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for cinnamon swirl)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

Instructions
