Oh. My. Goodness. I am so excited about these Lemon Blondies with Lemon Glaze. They are chewy, gooey bars of lemony goodness!
I have tried so many variations of brownie and blondie recipes over the years that just don’t have that brownie-like texture I’m looking for.
This is not one of those recipes! The texture is perfect, and the lemon flavor is just right–the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
I like a fat brownie, so I doubled the original recipe but baked it in the same size pan, so I’m sure you could get a 9×13 size pan out of this if you prefer a thinner brownie.
You’d just need to double the glaze. And doubling the recipe may not be a bad idea, since my family consumed the entire pan in under 2 hours,
Lemon Blondies with Lemon Glaze
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 9-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest at medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture, mixing until incorporated.
- Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest in a small bowl. Spread over brownies and let set for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Oh how I wish we didn’t have a citrus allergy in this house. I sure love lemon & these look divine. You always make the most delectable food Danelle!
Lori Yates
Danelle, I am so in love with these! These would be totally dangerous in my house – for sure, they’ll be gone in two days.
Cindy
I am in a citrus mode right now. I just bought a bunch of lemons so I’m making this dessert like, today! Yummy.
Kendra
I just found your blog this morning… I’m already eating a lemon blondie. Mmmmm. so yummy.
Christine Holloway
What kind of flour do you use in this recipe? All purpose or self rising? Do you need any thing to make it rise? I love the taste of lemon. I bet this is so good!
Gayatri
Thank you for sharing this!! They turned out delicious! Putting them up on my blog soon 🙂
Sarah
Yum! I absolutely love lemon anything.
Paula
Ooh, this might also be nice with a little melted white choc through the batter 🙂
Paula
I’ve made these once omitting the glaze (delicious without) so moist and tasty. I’ve just put one into the oven with a passion fruit curd and crumble topping!
Paula
R.E. the passion fruit and crumble versions – I’ve eaten enough of them now to say they are definitely yummy! Just goes to show that once you find a reliable recipe – thank you – you can mess around with it a bit and have endless awesomeness!
Happy baking
Sarah
Do you really make this in an 8″x8″ pan? I made it and it practically overflowed! I am going to try in a 9″x13″ pan next time. Great flavor though! 🙂

Made these for Easter and they were a huge Hit! Made again with LIME and a tablespoon of tequila in the batter. Also made them in an 8×12 baking dish and they were better. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Danelle
Love the idea of using lime! Can’t wait to try that! Thanks. 🙂
Teresa
Hi. I really want to try this recioe asap. Do you know what the ingredients are in grams or oz. In the UK we use those measurements not cups. Thanks in advance. X
Danelle
I don’t know those conversions off the top of my head. I would try looking for a conversion chart or calculator on Google.
Beth S
Made this and added white chocolate chips to the top. Very good! I’ll definitely be keeping this recipe!
Danelle
Thank you!

Did you double this recipe and add to a 9×9 pan?
