These Easy Lemon Blondies are made in one bowl and a bright with lemon flavor! They have the texture of your favorite chewy blondie and the simplicity of our one-bowl brownie!
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Either spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray or line the pan with parchment. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and lemon zest. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips to start releasing the oils. The longer it sits, the more pronounced the lemon flavor will be.
Melt the butter in the microwave or small saucepot.
In a large bowl whisk together the butter and sugar zest mixture.
Whisk in the eggs until smooth and homogenous.
Whisk or fold in the flour and salt until a smooth batter forms.
Pour into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned on top and gives resistance to the touch.
Cool completely before icing.
Prepare the icing:
In a medium bowl whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice until the desired consistency is reached. I wanted mine to be spreadable, so I added enough lemon juice to make a paste.
Spread glaze on brownies. Allow to set for at least 30 minutes. The thicker the glaze, the longer it will take.
Slice and serve!
