Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter, stirring until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Once the brownies have cooled, pour the glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set before cutting the brownies into squares.
