Creating the Best Lemon Brownies Recipe can be simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until fully combined.
3. Add Flavoring: Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well blended.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the brownie to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
