I love these lemon brownies. They are really soft, chewy, and the lemon flavor just bursts into the mouth! They are the perfect summer treat that you can have all year round. This Lemony Lemon brownie is a real treat for all the lemon lovers out there!
INGREDIENTS
For the The “Brownie” Batter:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour {King Arthur All-Purpose Flour}
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt {Sea Salt}
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
For the Tart Lemon Glaze:
1 rounded cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoon lemon juice
8 teaspoons lemon zest
How to make Lemony Lemon Brownies
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.
Step 2: Using butter or cooking spray, grease an 8 x 8-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 3: Grab two small or one large lemon and zest and juice them. Set aside.
Step 4: Beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter with an electric mixer until incorporated.
Step 5: Whisk the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a separate bowl. Mix well until combined. Then, pour the mixture into the flour mixture and beat for about 2 minutes at medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and place inside the preheated oven to bake for about 23 to 25 minutes or until the brownies just beginning to turn golden around the edges. To check the doneness, insert a toothpick in the middle and when it comes out clean the brownie is done.
Step 7: Once done, remove the brownie from the oven and cool. Make sure to not overbake the brownie or else it’ll be dry.
Step 8: While waiting for the brownies to cool, make the glaze by sifting the powdered sugar and adding the lemon zest and juice. Whisk the ingredients until combined.
Step 9: Glaze the cooled brownies by spreading the glaze using a rubber spatula. Allow the glaze to set before spreading the rest of the glaze over the bars. Let the glaze set before cutting the brownie into bars. This tart lemon glaze does not harden like most of the glaze.
