  • Lemon Zest: Sprinkle lemon zest for an additional burst of citrusy tang, without overpowering the overall taste.

How to Store Lemon Brownies:

  1. After baking, allow the brownies to cool entirely to maintain their freshness and flavor.
  2. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigeration is an option, but allow them to return to room temperature before serving for optimal taste.

How Long Do Lemon Brownies Last?

  • When stored at room temperature, lemon brownies retain their softness and zesty flavor for up to 5 days, ensuring each bite remains delightful.

Can Lemon Brownie Bars Be Frozen?

  • Absolutely! Once cooled, place them in an airtight container, either in a single layer or separated by parchment paper. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for an hour or two before enjoying them.
