Hi Alissa! You would only need to increase it by 50% for a 13 x 9 but yes that will work. I’m not sure on a bake time though. Enjoy! 🙂

I’ve made these multiple times and they’ve always been great. Recently took them to a party where they were devoured (even without the glaze). Thanks for writing such genius recipes Sam!

Unfortunately, I’m not sure how that would work. I haven’t personally tried it. 🙁

Thank you, Sam!
I thawed the brownies by leaving them on the counter, but I noticed the texture is a bit different. Is there any way to restore the texture and freshness of the brownies, for example by putting them in the oven? If so, for how long and at what temperature?

Hi Melissa! I’m glad you ended up enjoying it! The batter is a thicker batter that a whisk won’t be able to handle. You can see what mine looks like in the video just above the recipe. While an 8 x 8 will make the brownies a bit thicker I wouldn’t think they would start to burn before finishing. Is your oven running a bit hotter than it says it is? You could always tent the top with some foil if it starts browning too much.

In reply to Caroline Cardozo.

Tried this recipe and my mix was really thick at the end but pretty sure it was thicker than it was supposed to. I couldn’t really finish mixing it well with my whisk. So I’m thinking either my eggs where not big enough or I put too much flour but I followed the recipe.. also my Baking mold was 8×8 so I cooked it longer but my top was getting really brown and it looked fine but ended up not being cooked enough. It still taste Amazing and I’m gonna eat them anyway but would love a few tips. Thank you

Sure! To thaw, you could let them sit on the counter or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. You can do this with all of the brownie recipes you mentioned 🙂

Can I freeze them? If yes, how to unfreeze them? What about the other brownies (chocolate, white chocolate…)?

Good lord! These are insanely good. I have been on a lemon kick for a few years now and I have never tasted anything so balanced and perfect in terms of sweet and sour. Lemon brownies! Delicious!

Hi Martha! Is it possible you are over-mixing these a bit? Did you use the toothpick test to make sure they were completely baked?

I had the same issue! It almost seems like the pan is too small. It rose up rather high around the edges, but I also felt like it fell in the central area, about 3” away from the sides. That will make glazing a challenge 🤦‍♀️. Could you please let me know if you found a fix for this?

I made these (finally). The batter is very heavy which concerned me. Trust the recipe. You will really enjoy these. They are so bright with lemon flavor!! Definitely a five star!

These were so good! The lemon glaze adds just the right amount of flavor

Your website is very quickly becoming my go-to for almost every dessert recipe. I was skeptical of this recipe, as I’d never heard of lemon brownies before. But they turned out perfectly! My family (and in-laws) absolutely loved them. Made them again, and per a request from my sister, added some white chocolate chips, which tasted amazing and helped cut through some of the acidity. I would describe these as the taste of lemon bars with the texture of brownies. An immediate add to my personal recipe book. Thank you!

Hi Mandy! You shouldn’t have any issues freezing these for a couple of months. 🙂

And if so, how long would they last in the freezer? Thank you! Also, have made these several times and they are always amazing!

Hi Alicia! That’s so weird…is it possible they may have just needed to bake a little bit longer on that occasion?

In reply to SF.

These brownies are amazing! I make them all the time. I have one question…any reason they might be sinking in the middle? They don’t typically sink that much, but on one occasion they sunk almost a good 1/2″ I’ve been baking for a while, and usually it has something to do with ingredients, timing, opening the oven door, etc. I’m careful with those things, so I’m not sure what’s happening. Thoughts?

Hi Caroline! They should do fine to be wrapped well in plastic and foil before placing in an airtight container. So glad you like the recipe 😊
