4 Ingredient Lemon Brownies
These chewy lemon brownies are just 4 ingredients and made without wheat flour, dairy, butter or oil. They are an easy one bowl recipe, no mixer needed. You can also add an optional lemon icing which is made with the same ingredients used to make the brownies.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (130g) superfine blanched almond flour, see note before starting
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp (30ml) lemon juice + 2 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour and powdered sugar. Whisk until evenly combined. Then add in the eggs and whisk until they are fully incorporated. Finally, add the lemon juice and zest and mix until they are evenly incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the brownies are set in the center and browned around the edges. Allow the brownies to cool fully before removing them from the pan.
- Once cooled, cut the brownies with a large sharp knife. I like to clean the blade between cuts. If desired, you can also add a lemon icing on the brownies before serving. Optional icing is provided in the recipe notes. Store any uneaten brownies in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Almond flour note: It is best to measure the almond flour with a scale. If you are measuring the almond flour with measuring cups, make sure to fluff up the almond flour in the bag first with a spoon. Then spoon it into your measuring cup and level off the surface with a spoon. If you don't fluff up the flour first or you directly scoop the flour with your measuring cup, you will end up with too much almond flour for this recipe. I used Kirkland superfine almond flour.*
