Who says a brownie has to be made with chocolate?
Let’s switch things around and enjoy this different kind of brownie. A lemon brownie!
Since my family loves lemon desserts, I thought maybe there is a way to make a lemon brownie. So, it got me thinking.
They love chocolate brownies of course, well who doesn’t? I can’t think of anyone. LOL.
There had to be a way to get the texture of a chocolate brownie into a lemon one without using any cocoa powder or melted chocolate.
After a few tries, this was the winning recipe.
Both my kids and hubby loved these. I did too. 💛
The texture is dense like the brownie you are used to however, there’s no chocolate in these tangy gems.
A new favorite brownie around my home and maybe yours too!

- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
🍋Lemon Glaze:

HOW ARE THESE LEMON BROWNIES MADE?
Here’s the easy-peasy directions:
- Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Mist a non stick 8 or 9 inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat with a hand held mixer or stand mixer, the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking soda. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat at medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until nice and creamy.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 20-24 minutes. Try not to over bake. The edges will turn lightly golden brown. A toothpick should have moist crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
- While cooling, prepare the glaze and then spread over the brownies and sprinkle on the zest. Cut into 16 brownies.
