Brownies are pretty versatile when it comes to pan size. Most are baked in 13x9x2-inch pans. Baking them in a 9x9x2-inch pan will give you thicker brownies. You’ll need to follow the directions for extra-thick brownies on the package and bake them about 10 minutes longer.
One may also ask, can I use 9×9 instead of 8×8?
Not so hard! Just by glancing at the two pans, you might think that a 9-inch pan is very close in size to an 8-inch pan of the same shape, thus making it a reasonable substitute. But if you check the chart, you’ll find that a 9-inch square pan is more than 25% larger than an 8-inch square pan.
Besides, how do you cut a 9×13 pan for brownies?
For a 13×9 pan
- Cut three long rows into your bars (that’s three 3-inch rows).
- Then cut across the other way to form rectangles—they should be between 3 and 4 inches across.
- Cut each rectangle in half diagonally with the bench scraper or a sharp knife.
