Glazed Lemon Brownies

Glazed Lemon Brownies offer a citrus twist on classic brownies with a tender crumb and bright lemon flavor. The batter is enriched with lemon juice and zest, baked into a soft, slightly dense bar, then finished with a smooth lemon glaze that adds sweetness and zing. These bars combine buttery texture with lemon’s freshness, suitable for dessert or snack occasions.
