Amazing Lemon Brownies . . . soft and chewy lemon squares topped with lemon glaze. We like them better than traditional lemon bars, and they are easier to make!
I don’t know about you, but I am a big fan of lemon desserts, especially during the spring and summer months. Surprisingly, I don’t love traditional lemon bars. I will eat them, but they are far from my favorite. These lemon brownies on the other hand, I simply adore!
I know some of you are thinking, “these shouldn’t be called brownies, they aren’t brown!” I know, I know. But of course you can’t call them lemon bars, because they aren’t the lemon bars that everyone is familiar with.
They have the soft and chewy texture of brownies, and they are made just like brownies. So lemon brownies they are!
Whatever you call them, they are out of this world delicious! I don’t think I’ll ever make regular lemon bars ever again because I like these so much better. So did my family. In fact, most of them won’t touch lemon bars, but they gobbled these lemon brownies right up.
Making these lemon brownies is super simple, just like regular brownies. The key to the best flavor is the lemon zest. Without lemon zest, all of your lemon baked goods will be bland. It’s totally worth it to invest in a good lemon zester!
You can serve these lemon brownies warm or at room temperature. The flavor actually intensifies over time, so they are even more lemony the next day. If you love lemon, they are sure to become a new favorite!

July 30, 2018 at 9:07 amThe recipe doesn’t call for baking powder or baking soda, is it not necessary? Thank you.

July 31, 2018 at 9:46 amNope, they aren’t necessary. That’s what gives them the chewy texture of a brownie. You could of course try adding some baking powder if you want them more light and fluffy.
