Can I cook brownies in a muffin pan?

Yes, absolutely. Brownies in muffin pan form are one of the easiest ways to portion and bake brownies evenly. They offer crisp edges, gooey centers, and no need for slicing. Just scoop the batter, bake, cool, and pop them out.

How do I keep brownies from sticking to the muffin pan?

Use paper liners, or grease each cup well with butter and dust with cocoa powder. Let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. A silicone muffin tray is also a great nonstick alternative.

Do brownies cook faster or slower in a glass pan?

Brownies cook slower in glass pans because glass heats more gradually than metal. With brownies in muffin pan , the metal tin and smaller portions lead to a much quicker bake—about 14–18 minutes total.

Can I make brownies in a cake pan?

Yes, you can bake brownies in a cake pan. However, they’ll need longer to cook—typically 25–30 minutes—and you’ll miss out on the chewy edges that muffin pans create. The center also stays softer when baked in a single large pan.
