Fudgy Lemon Brownies Recipes

BEST HOMEMADE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly spray an 8x8 baking dish (not a 9x9 dish or your brownies will overcook) with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chocolate chips, and salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, water, and vanilla.
• Sprinkle the dry mix over the wet mix and stir until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan (it'll be thick - that's ok) and use a spatula to smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with only a few crumbs attached (note: it's better to pull the brownies out early than to leave them in too long). Cool completely before slicing.*** Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These also freeze well!

FUDGY BROWNIES I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cocoa and baking soda. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil and boiling water. Mix until well blended and thickened. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and remaining 1/3 cup oil. Finally, add the flour, vanilla and salt; mix just until all of the flour is absorbed. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

LEMON BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang, so you can pull the brownie out of the pan when done.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt until combined. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a handheld mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice on high speed until light and fluffy.
• With the speed on low, add the eggs one at a time and mix until just combined.
• Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and smooth out the surface with a spatula.
• Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs. Make sure not to over bake to keep the brownies fudgy and tender.
• Remove from the oven and cool on the counter.
• To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and zest in a mixing bowl. Add additional confectioners' sugar or lemon juice as needed until you reach a nice glaze consistency.
• Pour the glaze over the brownies and spread evenly. Allow it to set for 6 hours or overnight. When ready, pull the brownie out of the baking pan and cut into serving pieces. Enjoy!
