Multiply every recipe ingredient by 1.27× when converting 8×8-inch Square Baking Pan (2" deep) to 9×9-inch Square Baking Pan (2" deep) (8 cups vs. 10 cups capacity). Keep original recipe oven temperature unchanged. Start checking doneness 3–5 minutes before original minimum bake time.
Pan note (1.27×): Multiply all recipe ingredients by 1.27× (surface-area ratio). 27% more surface area than an 8×8 pan; scale brownies by 1.27× to preserve thickness.
Supports fractions (2 1/2 cups, ¾ cup), metric weights (200g), US butter sticks, and packing notes (packed, sifted, scooped).
