Making Lemon Brownies is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Melt Butter: In a mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the melted butter. Mix until combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool Brownies: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
9. Prepare Glaze: While the brownies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
10. Glaze Brownies: Once the brownies have cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top.
