While they are cooling, combine the glaze ingredients and whisk until incorporated. Look at the gorgeous lemon zest!
Pour over your lemon poppy seed bars and spread out in an even layer. Let it set up for at least 15 minutes. Cut when ready {I like to use a plastic knife because the bars don’t stick to it like it can with a regular knife}.
Tips For Making Lemon Poppy Seed Bars
Line the pan with parchment paper. This will help you lift the bars from the pan easily once they are set up and cut them into squares.
Spread the lemon poppy seed batter out evenly in the pan. Doing so will allow the batter to bake evenly.
Don’t over bake the Lemon Bars. In order to get the awesome brownie-like texture it is super important that you don’t over bake the bars. Pull them out of the oven once they are set up well and then allow them to cool in the pan.
Skip the glaze. The Lemon Poppy Seed Bars are wonderful all on their own.
