Lemony Lemon Brownies | Thermomix Recipes
© Nat's Thermomixen in the Kitchen (This is my personal recipe. I am happy for you to pin it, use it, print it, share it...but please give credit and link to my page. Many thanks! Hope you like it)
Ok so I know they aren't really BROWNies....being that they are yellow in colour, but they have the same fudgey-brownie-ish goodness going on. At least we think they do! You try and and judge for yourself.
Ingredients
1 lemon, juice and peel rind off with a potato peeler
150g raw sugar
100g diced softened butter
50g cream cheese (or sour cream)
2 eggs
150g bakers (or plain) flour
1 ts baking powder
pinch of sea salt
brownie tin or roughly 15cm tin
Method
Preheat oven to 180c
Put sugar and lemon peel in TM bowl and blitz for 10 seconds, speed 9. Scrape down
Insert butterfly
Add softened butter (make sure butter is soft or it may damage your butterfly) and cream cheese, and whip on speed 4 for 2 minutes or until creamy
Remove butterfly and lick clean
Add 2 eggs, pinch of salt and juice of the lemon and mix on speed 6 for 6 seconds
Scrape down, add flour and baking powder and mix on speed 4 for 3 seconds* or until just combined.
Pour mixture into a lined brownie or similar tin and bake for 20-25 minutes until set in the centre and edges are just starting to turn golden.
TIPS:
Don't be tempted to over mix as doing so releases the glutens in the flour and will make tough brownies. It is ok to see a little white flour around the sides, you can incorporate that into the mixture as you scrape it out into your tin.
Brownie will look quite pale when cooked. You can dust it with some icing sugar if you like.
Let me know if you make it, drop me a line on my Facebook page (I don't check comments on my blog very often)

Lemons & Thermomix
I have been dreaming of a lemon tree with an abundance of lemons ever since Maude the Thermomix came to live with us last year.
My sister very kindly delivered two HUGE shopping bags full of lemons to me yesterday, so now I am overloaded and have been storing lemon recipes like there is no tomorrow! Have a look at the size of THIS lemon...I have never seen one so big before!!
The first one I tried was Lemon Butter or Lemon Curd from the EDC. I have to say...one of the EASIEST recipes ever, only 8 minutes to cook and you only need 2 lemons to make a whole jar. Well worth a try, quite impressive as a gift too...particularly if you find some cute free labels to print off and stick to your jars.
Here are some labels you can download for free:
And here are some great recipes for using lemons that I found on the Recipe Community website
(in the Varoma. From UK Thermomix website)
Would love to hear your favourites!
