If you’re a fan of lemon-flavored treats, these brownies will certainly impress you. With simple ingredients and an easy recipe, you can easily make them for family and friends on various occasions.

Delicious Lemon Brownie Variations

If you want to switch things up and add something extra to your Lemon Brownies, here are a few variations you can try:

  • Vanilla Glaze Variation: Instead of using a lemon glaze, make a vanilla glaze using powdered sugar and milk. This will give you the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess.
  • Cake Mix Variation: Experiment with different cake mixes like strawberry or chocolate, instead of the traditional yellow cake mix. The lemon juice and zest will still add that refreshing lemony flavor.
  • Chocolate Touch Variation: Add mini chocolate chip morsels to the batter for a delightful chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with the lemon zest.
  • Glaze-Free Variation: If you prefer your brownies without glaze, you can simply dust them with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does it take to make the Lemon Brownies from Cake Mix?

This recipe is quick and easy! You can make these mouthwatering Lemon Brownies in less than an hour, including preparation, baking, and glazing.

2. Do I need to use fresh lemon juice for this brownie recipe?

No, fresh lemon juice is not necessary. If you don’t have lemons on hand, bottled lemon juice works just as well to give your brownies that zesty flavor.

3. What size pan do I need for baking the Lemon Brownies?

An 8″ square baking dish is recommended for this recipe. You can use a metal, glass, or disposable aluminum baking dish, depending on your preference.

4. How much glaze do I add to these brownies?

You can customize the amount of glaze according to your preference. Drizzle it over the brownies, adding as much or as little as you’d like. Personally, I love a generous drizzle!

Helpful Tips

  • If your glaze is too thin, simply add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.
  • Allow your brownies to cool for 10 minutes after baking before adding the glaze. This will ensure it sticks perfectly to the brownies.
  • If you don’t have powdered sugar, you can easily make your own using cornstarch and granulated white sugar.

Storing Your Lemon Brownies

Once you’ve sliced your brownies into individual portions and added the glaze, wrap them in plastic wrap. This way, you can easily grab a delicious treat whenever you’re in the mood for it. Store the wrapped brownies in a food storage container with an airtight lid on your countertop or in the fridge (if desired).
