Description
Delightful Lemon Brownies, affectionately known as ‘Lemonies’, blend sweet and tangy flavors for a refreshing dessert experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, melt your butter. Stir in the granulated sugar until well-combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time and continue mixing. Then, pour in the vanilla extract and lemon juice.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined—avoid overmixing!
- Gently fold in the lemon zest to enhance that citrus flavor.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once cooled, drizzle a glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice on top.
Notes
For best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast.
