Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 stick butter, softened
2 large or extra large eggs
3/4 cup super fine sugar or granulated sugar
2 tablespons lemon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
LEMON GLAZE
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cold water if needed
Lemon zest for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Mist a non stick 8 or 9 inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat with a hand held mixer or stand mixer, the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Add the lemon juice and zest and mix just until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking soda. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat at medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until nice and creamy. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 20-24 minutes. Try not to over bake. The edges will turn lightly golden brown. A toothpick should have moist crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes. While cooling, prepare the glaze and then spread over the brownies and sprinkle on the zest. Cut into 16 brownies and enjoy!

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these brownies were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and the brownies were nice and moist.

These brownies are a great way to use up leftover lemons. They're also a nice change from the traditional chocolate brownie.

Overall, I thought these brownies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The texture of these brownies was a bit dry. I think I would have added more butter or oil to the batter.

These brownies were a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter lemon flavor.

Yum! These brownies are so good! The lemon flavor is subtle but it really adds something special. I also love the texture - they're fudgy and gooey in the center and crispy on the edges.

I was looking for a healthier brownie recipe and these fit the bill perfectly. They're low in calories and sugar, but they're still super delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.
