One Bowl Lemon Brownies lol

One Bowl Lemon Brownies

One bowl. No mixer. So easy. And they're just as good whole wheat! You’ll need 3 small lemons and always zest the lemons before juicing. The 8x8 pan will produce cakier bars while the 9x9 will be a bit more dense. ALWAYS AERATE YOUR FLOUR BEFORE MEASURING.

Makes: 16

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (I use Fage 2% - never fat free) - or sour cream
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)

2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup powdered sugar
zest of 1 lemon
about 2 to 4 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9-inch square pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving extra for “handles.”
Put all ingredients into a bowl.
Stir by hand until smooth (about 30 seconds).
Spread batter in pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Lift out of pan and spread glaze over warm brownies.
Glaze:
Stir glaze ingredients together in a bowl, adding juice gradually until glaze is spreadable.
No Yogurt? You can use sour cream instead.
