Description
A zesty and sweet recipe for Lemon Brownies that are perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 2 lemons
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, then cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
- Try substituting lime juice and zest for a tropical twist on these brownies.
