Finished with a zesty lemon glaze, these bars are perfect for a refreshing dessert or snack with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: Whisk the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth, ensuring they are well combined for a tender brownie texture.
  2. Add eggs and lemon: Incorporate the eggs, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest into the creamy mixture, whisking thoroughly to blend the flavors evenly.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until the batter becomes smooth and consistent without overmixing.
  4. Bake the brownies: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper with high edges. Pour the batter evenly into the dish, spreading it out. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Prepare the glaze: While the brownies are still hot, combine the powdered sugar, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice in a bowl. Adjust the lemon juice quantity if you prefer a thinner glaze. Spread this glaze over the warm brownies so it lightly soaks into the surface.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the glaze. Once cooled, cut into about 20 pieces and serve as a refreshing, lemon-infused treat.

Notes

  • Use quality, high-fat butter for the best flavor and texture.
  • Remove eggs and butter from the refrigerator in advance to ensure they are at a similar room temperature, which helps the batter mix more evenly.
  • Line the baking dish with parchment paper with high edges for easy removal of the brownies without breaking.
  • The glaze can be thinned with additional lemon juice if a more drizzle-like consistency is desired.
