Lemon Brownies ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature ¾ cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs room temperature 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ¼ teaspoon salt 1 1 cup all purpose flour Lemon Glaze 1 cup powdered sugar 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon lemon zest optional
Lemon Brownies Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9"x9" baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, and mix until just combined after each one.
Mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined. Stir in flour until just combined.
Spread batter into prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the top looks set. Cool completely.
Lemon Glaze In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and, if using, lemon zest. The mixture should be pourable. If it's too thick, add more lemon juice.
Pour glaze over cooled brownies and smooth out. Wait for the glaze to set, and then cut into squares.
Store brownies at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Line your baking pan with parchment paper to easily remove the brownies.
Make sure the brownies are fully cooled before enjoying them. They need time to set and be fudgy.
Add in white chocolate chips or chopped nuts if you like.
Try adding different citrus juices for different flavours.
