Glazed Lemon Brownies
Glazed Lemon Brownies are lovely citrus bars made with fresh lemon juice and zest. These treats are simple to make and crazy delicious!
Last Saturday I spent the morning cleaning our house and baking these Glazed Lemon Brownies. As soon as I pulled them out of the oven my Mom called inviting us to her company barbecue. Kale was heading out of town to the Super Cross race in Las Vegas, so I took her up on the invitation and headed over to the park with the kids!
We ate hot dogs, chips and cookies while the kiddos played on the play ground. It was a lot of fun! At the barbecue I told Mom about the brownies I had just made, but wasn’t sure how they turned out. I told her I’d let her be my taste-tester to see if they were worthy of the blog. She was all excited. My Mom is a big lemon-lover, just like me. Or maybe I’m a lemon-lover, just like her? 😀
Once we were home from the barbecue I snapped a few pics for the blog, and then took a bite. The results? Heaven! Lemon brownie heaven! The flavor of lemon is just perfect, and they’re soft and moist, just like a brownie should be. And that glaze. Seriously, the best.
I took a few more pictures and then packed some up to take to Mom. Of course, she ended up loving them! I think I might need to make her another batch for Mother’s Day, and you should probably make a batch for your Mom too. 😉
