Description

These lemon brownies combine the rich, fudgy texture of classic brownies with a bright and tangy lemon flavor, topped with a sweet lemon glaze for an irresistible citrusy dessert.

Ingredients

BATTER

  • 1 cup softened room temperature butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp freshly squeezed 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. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth, ensuring they are well blended.
  3. Add Lemon and Eggs: Add the lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and eggs to the butter and sugar mixture. Continue mixing until the mixture is creamy and fully incorporated.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt into the wet mixture, a little at a time. Mix gently after each addition just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour Batter Into Pan: Evenly pour the brownie batter into the prepared 9×13-inch pan, spreading it out smoothly.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. The edges should be lightly browned.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: While the brownies bake, combine the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl. Mix until the glaze is creamy and smooth.
  8. Glaze the Brownies: Once the brownies are out of the oven and still warm, pour the glaze evenly over the top. Allow the brownies to cool completely so the glaze sets properly before cutting.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, cut into squares and serve your delicious lemon brownies with a tangy glaze.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor in both the batter and glaze.
  • Do not overbake to keep brownies moist and fudgy.
  • The glaze should be poured while the brownies are warm to spread easily.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to maintain clean cuts.
