Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Powdered sugar for glaze

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool before glazing. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until desired consistency, then spread over cooled brownies.

Notes

Store Lemon Brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or freeze wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months. Tips include using fresh lemons for the best flavor and not overmixing the batter.
