Second amybee’s foil trick, but I’ve had luck with simply wrapping the bottom and outside of the pan relatively loosely. The foil can be reused for other things.

Another couple of things to try:

Try changing the location of the food in the oven. If you usually place your pan in the center or toward the bottom of the oven, move it higher.

Try placing your pan on a cookie sheet. This will baffle the rising hot air from the bottom of the pan and make it circulate back down over the top of your baking dish, which will help the center cook quicker. If the bottom still burns but the sides are OK, put the pan on top of a wire rack on top of the cookie sheet.

Try using a different oil to grease your pan. If you’re using a “lite” oil in particular, try using olive oil or butter. If you are not flouring your pan, too, try that.

The key to brownie making happiness in my book is to use a pyrex pan. It makes a HUGE difference.

Try covering the pan with foil and then cutting a square/rectangle out of the middle, leaving about 2 inches over the edge of the brownies. The edges won’t crisp up as much.
