Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

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 bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and zest.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  9. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before glazing.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
  11. Spread the glaze over the cooled brownies, let it set for 10 minutes, then slice into squares and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use fresh lemons for the best flavor.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the brownies tender.’, ‘Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for a smoother batter.’, ‘Check the brownies a few minutes before the recommended bake time to avoid overbaking.’, ‘Cool the brownies completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.’]
