Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a large zip-lock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes or until the donuts are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth to create the glaze.
Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the top of each donut into the maple glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack for the glaze to set before serving.
