Zesty, sweet and super fudgy, these lemon brownies are the perfect low calorie sweet treat to enjoy in the warmer months!
Ingredients
- 40 g stevia or granulated sweetener*
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 egg room temperature
- 50 g yogurt
- juice of ½ lemon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 90 g flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
Vanilla lemon drizzle:
- 30 g 0 calorie powdered sweetener
- juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- In a medium bowl, rub together the granulated sweetener and lemon zest. You want to rub until the sweetener has a yellowish tinge to it and it is combined entirely with the lemon zest. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, whisk the egg until it looks bubbly. Add in the lemon zest and sweetener and whisk until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the yogurt, lemon juice from ½ the lemon and vanilla and whisk to combine.
- Add in the flour, salt and baking powder and fold until smooth.
- Transfer the batter to a lined 8-inch pan and bake for 15 minutes or until the edges have set.
- Allow the brownies to cool and make the glaze in the meantime by whisking together the 0 calorie powdered sweetener, lemon juice from the remaining ½ of the lemon and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled brownies, you can either allow the glaze to set or enjoy nice and moist right away!
Notes
*Stevia – The stevia I use is twice as sweet as sugar so I use half the amount of sugar this recipe would require (80g). If the sweetener you use is a 1:1 ratio to sugar then you would use 80g. Adjust the sweetener according to the sweetener you’re using.
