I love chocolate. Deeply. I’ll admit it. I’m not ashamed. But every now and then, particularly in the spring, I start craving lemons. They are light, refreshing, and mouth-puckeringly delicious. Lemon curd (on anything!). Lemon pie. Lemon poppyseed muffins. Lemon brownies?
When you think of brownies, it’s usually all about the chocolate right? Well, why not mix it up a little?! These lemon brownies will make you happy. You’ll dig ‘em…pinky swear. They are moist and dense but have a light, sunny flavor. They’re what happens when you have a hankering for sweetened condensed milk. Yes, that can totally happen.
Lemon brownies are a little hard to describe so you’ll just have to make these and see for yourself! Trust me. You won’t regret it.
