Glazed Lemon Brownies

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delightful brownies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (get those lemons zested!)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for that glaze!)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Now, let’s bring all of this together:

  1. First off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it good so nothing sticks.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, melt that butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Once it’s melted, whisk in the sugar until it’s all combined.
  3. Next, add those eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. We want them to be well mixed for that perfect texture. Don’t forget to stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet ingredients, folding it until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Now, fold in the lemon zest like a boss, and pour that batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake it in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. You can check by sticking a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, you’re good to go!
  7. While the brownies are cooling, let’s make that glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Once your brownies are cool, drizzle that lemon glaze all over. Cut them into squares, and you’re ready to serve!

Enjoy these glazed lemon brownies with friends or keep them all to yourself. Either way, you can’t go wrong with this sweet and zesty treat!
