Ingredients
¾cupwhite whole-wheat flour
½teaspoonbaking powder
½teaspoonsalt
½cupunsalted butter, softened
⅔cupsugar
3large eggs
1tablespoonlemon zest plus 1 teaspoon, divided
3tablespoonslemon juice, divided
1teaspoonvanilla extract
½cuppacked confectioners' sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉. Coat an 8-inch-square nonstick baking dish with cooking spray.
Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; set aside. Beat butter and sugar in a stand mixer with paddle attachment or in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low; add the flour mixture, beating until just combined. Add 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and vanilla, beating until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 22 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a small bowl. When the brownies are cool, spread the glaze over the top and cut into 16 pieces.
To make ahead
Prepare through Step 2 up to 1 day ahead. Glaze brownies (Step 3) shortly before serving.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
