03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are acceptable.
05 - Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
06 - Drizzle 1/2 cup maple syrup over the batter. Use a knife to gently swirl the syrup through the batter for a marbled effect.
07 - Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the top if desired.
08 - Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
09 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm with additional maple syrup.
