Lemon Brownie Bars
- "Brownie" Batter
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour {King Arthur All-Purpose Flour}
- 3/4 cup Splenda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. unsalted reduced calorie butter, melted
- 2 large eggs + 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Tart Lemon Glaze
- 1 rounded cup Splenda
- 4 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 teaspoons lemon zest
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Grease/Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with butter/cooking spray and set aside.
- Zest and juice two small/large lemons; set aside. {whatever you have}
- In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Pour into baking dish and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before glazing. Do not overbake, or the bars will be dry. {even with the yummy glaze}
- When brownies are cooled completely, make the glaze...sift the powdered sugar, add lemon zest and juice, and whisk together all three ingredients. Spread 1/2 the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula. Let glaze set. Spread the remaining glaze over the bars, and let it set. This glaze does not harden like most. Cut into bars, and serve!
