Ingredients

  • For the Brownie Base:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • For the Lemon Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • Make the Brownie Base:
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely.
  • Prepare the Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Glaze the Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cooled, pour the glaze over the top, spreading it evenly.
  • Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, feel free to increase the lemon zest or juice in the glaze.
  • These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can also refrigerate them for up to a week if you’d prefer a firmer texture.
