If you love the delightful taste of lemons then you need to make these gluten-free lemon brownies right away. With a moist tender crumb and topped with lemon glaze these are absolutely delicious and will quickly become a favorite. And not only are they easy to make you can whip them up in just one bowl.
Ingredients for Gluten-Free Lemon Brownies:
- Gluten-Free Flour: I use Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour Mix for most of my baking. I get consistently good results with this blend. It is a 1-1 substitute. If you use another gluten-free flour blend be sure that it contains xanthan gum. If not add 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour.
- avocado oil – this is a very mild tasting oil
- lemon juice: two lemons should give you enough juice and zest for this recipe.
- lemon zest: depending on your zester you will either get a finely grated zest or fine strips. I’ve used both and it really changes the mouthfeel. With the strips, you’ll be able to feel them in your mouth but the grated zest you won’t notice them. In my photographs, you’ll see the fine strips of lemon zest. I actually prefer the finely grated zest best.
- sugar, eggs, almond milk, baking soda, salt, and confectioner’s sugar
How to Make Gluten-Free Lemon Brownies
Just takes one bowl to mix all the brownie ingredients together.
The batter mixes together easily and it’s okay to have a few small lumps in the mix.
Spread out the batter into a 9×9-inch baking pan that’s been lightly sprayed with oil.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350° or until golden brown and toothpick test comes out clean. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before spreading the glaze on.
Mix the confectioner’s sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest together until smooth. If the glaze is too thick mix in a teaspoon more of lemon juice.
Once the brownie has cooled for 10-15 minutes spread the glaze over it.
And it’s really that easy to make this delicious lemon brownie. I hope you enjoy it!
