Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Lemon Glaze: While the brownies are baking, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Cool and Glaze: Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Pour the lemon glaze over the cooled brownies, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Set and Serve: Allow the glaze to set before cutting the brownies into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra lemon flavor, add more lemon zest to the glaze.
