I just love lemon flavored desserts… especially in the spring and summer. There is just something really refreshing about citrus flavors. When I made the Red Velvet Brownies last winter, I knew that I would be making Lemon Brownies for the spring/summer. These Lemon Brownies will be perfect after our grilled chicken breasts for dinner tonight.

Simply preheat the oven to 350°. A standard 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 brownie pan or a divided brownie pan can be prepared with cooking spray or with parchment paper. I used the cooking spray in an 8 x 8 pan.
In a mixing bowl, I mixed the lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water together. I used a wire whisk, but a hand mixer or simply a spoon would suffice. Once the ingredients are mixed well, pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted about a full inch from the edge comes out with cooked crumbs rather than doughy batter.
I think I made my glaze too thin. I mixed 3 tablespoons of water to 1 cup of powdered sugar. When I made the Red Velvet Brownies, I used 2 tablespoons of water. Next time I make the Lemon Brownies (there will be many more next times), I will use 2 tablespoons of water, but the glaze in the pictures here all have 3 tablespoons.
