Lemon Thyme Brownies with Stewed Blueberry Icing and Pistachios
Here's What You Need:
  • Brownies:
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (approx. 1 lemon)
  • Icing:
  • 3/4 cup blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Topping:
  • Chopped Pistachios
  • Coarse sea salt
Here's What You Do:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a 8x8" pan with parchment paper and non stick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, thyme, salt, and butter until just mixed.
  3. In a small bowl, combine eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
  4. Add egg mixture to flour mixture. Mix until just combined. 
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes (if you have a dark pan like me), or 23-25 minutes if using a lighter colored pan, until edges are light brown.
  6. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan.
  7. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and powdered sugar to form thick glaze. Spread over cooled brownies.
  8. In small saucepan, combine blueberries and lemon juice. Allow to cook on medium heat for 5 minutes or until blueberries have released a significant amount of juice. 
  9. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool.
  10. Half mixture, and transfer half to a small bowl. Set aside other half for another use.
  11. Mix in powdered sugar to make a runny glaze.
  12. Cut brownies and drizzle blueberries over the top. Use as much or as little as you want.
  13. Chop pistachios and sprinkle on top with sea salt to your liking.
