FAQ ❓

What makes lemon brownies different from regular brownies?

Lemon brownies are infused with fresh lemon juice and zest, giving them a bright, citrusy flavor that sets them apart from traditional chocolate brownies.
Yes, you can experiment with other citrus fruits like lime or orange, but keep in mind that the flavor profile will change accordingly.
To enhance moisture, ensure you don’t overbake them and consider adding a bit more butter or an extra egg to the batter.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate them for longer freshness.
Absolutely! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

It came out flat as a pancake. Maybe adding baking powder might be a good idea?
