Instructions
Making Lemon Brownies is simple with these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies chewy.
5. Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven, and allow them to cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes.
8. Cut and Dust: Once cooled, cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
