These amazing lemon brownies offer a delightful blend of subtle sweetness and refreshing lemon aroma, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a citrus twist on traditional brownies. The soft, moist texture combined with a tangy lemon glaze makes these lemon brownies an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Batter

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Whisk the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes creamy, ensuring a smooth base for the brownies.
  2. Add Eggs and Lemon: Mix in the eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest, whisking well to combine all the flavors uniformly.
  3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and well blended, avoiding overmixing.
  4. Bake the Brownies: Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish and pour the batter evenly into it. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While the brownies bake, combine powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a bowl. Adjust the juice quantity if a thinner glaze is desired, mixing until smooth.
  6. Glaze and Cool: Once baked, immediately cover the hot brownies with the lemon glaze. Allow the brownies to cool completely, which helps the glaze set properly.
  7. Serve: After cooling, cut the lemon brownies into 20 pieces and serve as a delicious, tangy dessert.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best citrus flavor.
  • Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
  • Do not overbake to maintain moistness.
  • For a thinner glaze, add more lemon juice incrementally.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
