Brownies can be either fudgy or cakey. It is considered a hybrid of a cake and cookie. They are level and typically cut into square-like bars. They are not leavened with baking powder hence, they are denser and heavier. Brownies can also be made without chocolate, in a version known as blondies. Hence, this is called Lemon Blondies but some may still call it Lemon Brownies.
I tried this with almond and coconut flour. Almond flour version is a little firmer and denser while the coconut flour version is softer. In the video, I used almond flour so you can refer to the written recipe below for the coconut flour ratio.
I love the dense and fudgy texture and of course, the refreshing lemony taste. The lemon glaze makes it incredibly delicious so I highly recommend you do the glaze. As usual, it is super easy to make without any tools required.
