Lemon Brownies
With just 5 ingredients, you can make these lemon brownies in under 30 minutes! This simple dessert is loaded with bright, fresh lemon flavor.
Ingredients
For Brownies
- 15.25 oz lemon cake mix
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
For Lemon Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about a lemon's worth of juice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Spread mixture in an 8x8" glass dish sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake brownies at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, until sides are set.
- While brownies cool, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over brownies as they cool.
- Allow brownies to set in the refrigerator for about an hour.
Notes
- Because of the glaze, you might want to store these in the fridge. They will last longer than a normal dish at room temperature (5-6 hours is fine), but the glaze can go bad quickly if not refrigerated.
- Feeding a big crowd? Double the recipe and use a 9x13" pan. The same cooking time should work, but you might need to add a minute or two (your brownies should be starting to turn golden brown and still jiggly in the middle, but not liquid).
- Don't overmix the brownie batter - just stir until blended. Mixing too much can make the brownies overly chewy.
- The brownie mixture will be really thick (almost like cookie dough) before baking.
