Description
Bright, tangy, and sweet, these glazed lemon brownies are soft, moist, and fluffy with a fresh citrus glaze that adds the perfect punch of lemon flavor.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice; whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract together.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While baking, prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Cool brownies completely in the pan before drizzling glaze on top.
- Allow glaze to set, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Ensure brownies are completely cooled before glazing to prevent glaze from soaking in.
For extra flavor, add more lemon zest to the glaze.
Can be made with gluten-free flour for a similar texture.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
