Zesty and Sweet: Discover the Irresistible Charm of Lemon Brownies

Learn how to make delicious Lemon brownies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gather up these pantry staples, and let’s get baking:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

If you’re out of fresh lemons, bottled lemon juice can work in a pinch, but trust me, nothing beats the zest of a fresh lemon for that extra pop of flavor.

Instructions

Ready to dive in? Follow these steps, and you’ll be on your way to lemony bliss:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

A little tip from my kitchen: If you like your brownies extra tangy, drizzle a bit of lemon glaze on top once they’re cool. It’s a family favorite trick of mine!
