Ingredients

Brownies

¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest about half a lemon
½ cup melted unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Lemon Glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest about half a lemon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Add ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Combine ¾ cup granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in a small bowl with a spoon or a fork to allow the zest to release its oils into the sugar.
Add ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and the lemon sugar to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
Add 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice and mix until combined. Add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Remove and let the brownies cool completely.
Once they are fully cooled, make the glaze by adding ½ cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest to a small bowl and whisking together.
Use a spoon or an offset spatula to spread the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies.
