Lemon Brownies

Lemon brownies AKA lemon blondies are really soft and moist cake squares topped with a delicious icing. The perfect refreshing dessert that once you’ve tried them, you’ll be making over and over again!

Recently I’ve been making ALL things lemony, that’s what happens when you have a lemon tree. When spring arrives and it’s time for the blossom to appear you suddenly realise the tree is still full of lemons from last year and they need removing to make way for the new crop to develop. The first thing is Lemon Marmalade, that takes care of a large proportion of the pile. Then it’s down to things like Lemon Meringue Pie, Citrus Tart, Lemon Drizzle Cakes, etc. Although I’m diabetic and these things really have to be avoided, I have plenty of friends to assist in their consumption.

On top of  all the usual items mentioned above, I have a new item to add to the lemon reducing arsenal, YES, it’s these scrumptious Lemon Brownies
