Soft & Chewy Glazed Lemon Brownies

It’s been years since I’ve made lemon brownies. Every Spring and Summer I start seeing these lemony yellow beauties floating around Pinterest and Facebook, just teasing me all willy nilly while I’m trying my best to keep my infamous muffin top in check.

What’s a girl to do with all this temptation!?!? ……Give in of course! Yolo! Tomorrow’s not promised! Nobody ever died saying I’m glad I only ate healthy stuff, Can’t win ’em all!! You get the point, grab an excuse and *clap* MAKE *clap*THESE *clap*BROWNIES *clap*GIRL!

These glazed lemon brownies have the same texture as a soft and chewy brownie only in lemon form. It’s slightly “fudgy”, slightly cakey and downright divine!

Have you ever had lemon brownies? Some folks call them lemon bars or lemon blondies but lemon brownies sound so much cooler don’t you think. Besides, this is the recipe I use for making chocolate brownies only with a few adjustments. The texture is definitely more like a brownie than a blondie to me. So it’s a brownie, m-kay.
