Before we get into the recipe, let’s discuss why disposable foil pans are a game-changer for brownie baking:

Now that we’ve established why foil pans are the best choice, let’s get started on this ultimate brownie recipe!
The Ultimate Fudgy Brownie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional but highly recommended)
- Disposable foil pan (9x13 works best for this recipe)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place your disposable foil pan on a baking sheet for easy handling.
-
Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar and cocoa powder. The mixture should be smooth and glossy—this is where the magic begins!
-
Add the eggs: Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition. This step helps incorporate air for that perfect brownie texture.
-
Mix in the dry ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined—overmixing can lead to dense brownies. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips at this stage.
-
Pour and smooth: Pour the brownie batter into your disposable foil pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake to perfection: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter!). Keep an eye on them—every oven is different!
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, slice into squares and serve. You can leave them in the foil pan for easy serving or transfer them to a plate—just remember to keep a few for yourself!
