Ingredients
Scale
For the lemon brownies:
- 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3/4 cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the lemon glaze:
- 3/4 cup (90 g) powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Make the brownie batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest, whisking until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the brownies:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Avoid overbaking to keep them chewy.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze.
- Prepare the lemon glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze or more lemon juice for a thinner glaze.
- Glaze the brownies:
- Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes before slicing into squares.
- Serve and enjoy:
- Slice into 9 or 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For extra zing, add an additional tablespoon of lemon juice or zest to the batter.
- Substitute lime juice and zest for a fun variation.
- These brownies can be stored in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
