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
