Recipe Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these refreshing treats:
For the Brownies:

- 1/2 Tsp baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar

Directions
Here’s how you can bake these zesty brownies in your air fryer:
Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. (I sifted mine, but it isn’t required). Add the softened butter, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and stir until just combined.
Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (or 180°C) based on these handy air fryer tips.
Bake: Pour the batter into an 8×8 pan or a pan that fits in your air fryer. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze: While the brownies cool, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice.
Glaze and Serve: Once the brownies have cooled, pour over the glaze. Let the glaze set, then cut into squares. Enjoy!
