🍋 Lemon Brownies with Lemon Glaze 🍋
Ingredients:
For the Lemon Brownies:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Lemon Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Optional: 1–2 teaspoons milk for thinning, if needed
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Make the Brownie Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
Add in the melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
3. Bake:
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Allow to cool completely in the pan.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
If the glaze is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. Glaze and Serve:
Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes before slicing into squares.
