- 1 ¾ cups (350 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ¼ cup (61 g) fresh lime juice, from about 3 to 4 limes
- 1 teaspoon lime zest, from 1 to 2 limes
- 2 ½ cups (313 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions
Lime Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and brown sugar until fully combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the lime juice and lime zest until incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
Lime Glaze
- While the brownies bake, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and lime juice until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the warm brownies and spread it into an even layer.
- Allow the glaze to set completely before slicing and serving.
