These Two-Ingredient Lemon Bars are a quick, bright, and tangy dessert made with just lemon pie filling and angel food cake mix. They’re simple, light, and bursting with citrusy flavor, perfect for when you need a sweet treat in under an hour.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12–16 bars

Ingredients

  • One box of angel food cake mix (just the dry mix)
  • One can of lemon pie filling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire box of angel food cake mix with the lemon pie filling. Stir until fully blended—it will get fluffy and airy.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  5. Let the bars cool completely in the pan, then cut into squares. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a pretty finish.

Notes

  • Add lemon zest to the mixture for extra citrus punch.
  • Stir in fresh raspberries before baking for a fun twist.
  • For extra sweetness, top the cooled bars with a drizzle of lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free angel food cake mix and ensure the lemon filling is gluten-free.
