Lemon Brownies
The soft chewiness of brownies with the refreshing zing of lemon!
Ingredients
Brownies:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest plus more for icing
Icing:
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Turn the oven up to 350 F. While that's heating up, grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
-
With an electric mixer, beat the flour, white sugar, butter, and sea salt together in a bowl until they're well mixed. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest together. Mix the egg mix into the flour mix and beat them together on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Pour the combined batter into the prepped baking dish.
-
Bake the dish in the preheated oven until you can stick a toothpick in and pull it out clean, about 23 to 25 minutes. Let the dish cool until its bottom is warm to the touch.
-
To make the icing, whisk the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, vanilla extract, and your preference of lemon zest together in a bowl until it's smooth. Spread it over the finished brownies.
