Lemon and oat brownie with lemon glaze

Ingredients

For the brownies:

• 100 g rolled oats
• 130 g brown sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 100 g butter (softened)
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• zest of 1 lemon

For the glaze:

• 70 g icing sugar (1 cup)
• zest of 1 lemon
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Materials

• Food processor
• Electric or hand whisk (preferably electric)
• Rectangular pan (14 x 22 cm)

Preparation

• Blend the rolled oats. Whisk (preferably electric) the blended oats with sugar, salt, and softened butter.
• Add eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix for 2 minutes.
  
• Grease the pan with butter and bake for 23–25 minutes at 180°C. Let it cool.
• For the glaze: Place the icing sugar in a bowl and gradually add the lemon juice while mixing until you achieve a thin consistency.
  
• Stir in the lemon zest.
• Pour over the brownie and spread carefully, as the top is somewhat delicate.
  
• Let the glaze dry, and you're done!

Observations

- You can make this with any other type of crushed cereal (as a substitute for flour). You can also use conventional flour.

- You can customize the flavor and change the type of citrus. You can make it with orange, lime, or grapefruit.

- When you finish mixing the batter, it may look a bit curdled, but that's okay. It's the reaction of the lemon juice with the butter. When it comes out of the oven, it will be perfect!
