Lemon Brownies

These lemon brownies are bursting with lemony goodness. That’s what these lemon brownies are all about. A nice change and something new. Everyone will adore your lemon brownies like my family and friends. Try this easy recipe and enjoy!

 

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. Hmm, 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 but, there’s no chocolate in these tangy gems.

 

A new favorite brownie around my home and maybe yours too!

WHAT ARE IN THESE DELICIOUS LOOKING LEMON BROWNIES?

 

Here are the everyday ingredients to make these irresistible lemon brownies:

  • 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 8 tbsp (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large or extra large eggs
  • 3/4 cup super fine sugar or granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea or kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 

🍋Lemon Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cold water if needed
  • lemon zest for sprinkling on top, optional


HOW ARE THESE LEMON BROWNIES MADE?

 

Here’s the easy-peasy directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Mist a non stick 8 or 9 inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. While cooling, prepare the glaze and then spread over the brownies and sprinkle on the zest. Cut into 16 brownies.
 

Enjoy the lemon lusciousness! 🍋
