Giving credit for this Lemon Brownie Recipe Review to where it is due!
I made them the first time in the summer of 2019, and was I amazed then at how good they were. So were several of my friends. My taste buds and I owe many thanks to Jill from kitchenfunwithmy3sons.com. She is brilliant, and following her recipe for a review for our blog was an absolute joy. Her recipe is easy to follow and her directions are complete.
These Lemon Brownies are going to be perfect to make in the middle of winter, on a cold, dreary day. What better way to brighten up a gray day than making a batch of bright, lemony brownies?! They are great in warmer weather as they are not too sweet or heavy.
Tips and hacks for this Lemon Brownie recipe
New to zesting Lemons? Use a Lemon Zester, or a Microblade! This handy tool will make quick work of the job.
Struggling with keeping seeds out of your recipe? I use a small sieve because it saves me time, and saves me from making that extra mess! Plus it is not much fun getting a surprise seed in the middle of your brownie. It’s just not right!
This lemon brownie recipe is a tart yet sweet treat and is perfect for a picnic or BBQ in the summer. Likewise, this versatile brownie is sure to chase away even the gloomiest of cold winter days.

Lemon Brownies Recipe Review
Notes
*After cooling for an hour on the counter, I have removed the brownies from the baking dishes using the parchment paper, and placed on a cookie sheet inside the refrigerator to chill completely. I admit it, I’m not very patient at times!
** After pouring the glaze on, and smoothing it out, I have been known to pop it back in the fridge for faster setting.
