Toni Street shares her daughter Mackenzie's delicious Lemon Brownie recipe

This wonderful zesty lemon brownie is absolutely divine - and best of all it's so easy to make!

As a fresh alternative to decadent chocolate brownies, Toni Street's seven-year-old daughter Mackenzie loves filling the house with the lovely lemony smell this recipe emits.

The brownies are super soft and fudgy but instead of having chocolate in every bite, you'll get a kick of citrus both in the blondie layer as well as in the glaze.

They are so easy to throw together, taste incredible, and will brighten up any dessert table!

You will need approximately 5-6 lemons in total for this recipe.

Makes: Approximately 30 small serves.

Brownie:
6 tablespoons lemon juice
5 teaspoons lemon zest

5. Add the eggs to the wet mixture and whisk together.
6. Tip the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until combined.
