These gluten-free lemon brownies are tangy, sweet, and perfectly moist, combining the richness of brownies with the brightness of lemon bars for a decadent and refreshing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt until there are no lumps.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely before glazing.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar or lemon juice as needed. Stir in lemon zest if desired.
  9. Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies and spread evenly. Let the glaze set for 15-20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

[‘Let eggs come to room temperature before adding them to the batter for a smoother texture.’, ‘Use fresh lemons for optimal flavor.’, ‘Do not skip the parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal.’, ‘Let the brownies cool completely before glazing to ensure a clean finish.’, ‘Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.’]
