Two options:
First, complete foods is the absolute fastest method of meal-prep I'm currently aware of. It's similar to what they feed coma patients in the hospital (liquid meal replacement). Kind of like Ensure, but minus the sugar & also is 100% nutritionally complete (i.e. all the proteins/carbs/fats/vitamins/minerals/fiber you need). You can buy it pre-mixed or bottled. It's not a super exciting meal option, but on the days when you're running out the door & just need something fast, it's hard to be the convenience of a liquid meal, lol. If you buy the read-to-drink version, then meal prep is simply buying a box of it, haha! Read the first part of my post here if you want to understand it a bit more:

Second, I have a variety of "master" recipes that I use. That basically means you take a concept, & create variations on that recipe, so you can do bulk meal prep all at once, but also create variety. For example, this is the quesadilla recipe I use:
https://www.seriouseats.com/2017/02/food-lab-great-quesadillas.html
This elevates a regular, boring quesadilla into an awesome one that is actually really, really good. That base technique (1:1 cheese or mashed sweet potato ratio, use oil & keep it moving, fold don't sandwich, etc.) can be used to create a variety of flavors:
Ideas for master recipes:
There are plenty more, but that should be enough to kick-start you with a few good options! Bonus, all of those items freeze well! I can drop a few energy bites in my lunchbox directly from the freezer to eat as a mid-afternoon snack, for example. You can do breakfasts (like breakfast burritos or Starbucks-style Egg Bites), you can do lunches, you can do dinners, you can do sweet or savory snacks, you can do desserts, all kinds of stuff with master recipes!
It's a pretty fast method to meal-prep because you can do all of the flavors at once, using the same basic process to create a handful of flavor options. Like, I make a lot of burritos: steak & cheese, chicken & rice, etc. I can simply microwave those for lunch, or if I want a fancy dinner, fry them into chimichangas with some sauce on top or put them in a casserole dish & melt cheese on top of them to make enchiladas. One master procedure, multiple flavors, multiple ways of eating them. Hard to beat for meal prep!
Yum I'm so trying that, is this the pan?
This is the best keto chocolate cake recipe that I have made that uses coconut flour. I found it to be really moist!
Instead of making it into an entire cake, I used this pan and got 16 mini cakes out of the original recipe. With my ingredients that I used, it came out to approximately 4 carbs a serving. I didn’t make the icing though, but I’m sure it is delicious!
Edit: I just realized that you said brownie and not cake, but this cake recipe reminded me of a cake brownie.
Not OP, but this is my go to. Ive tried a lot of recipes, and have settled on this one. Everyone raves about my cornbread. I recently starting making mini loaves using this pan instead of making one large batch. You get more crispy edge with the mini loafs (which is my favorite part)
The great thing about prep after surgery is the small amount of food. More fits into the fridge. You cook once a week or every 2 weeks and just heat it up.
Get some containers you can microwave. I bought some cheap containers on amazon with compartments so the stuff does not mix (in case of souce/gravy) or invest in some that last longer. These
The first time I prepped I made some meat plus sides of cauliflower and broccoli. It started to smell badly after day 4 in the fridge so I had to throw it away. I should have frozen the food and not just used the fridge. I think if you don't eat it in 3 days you should freeze it.
Perfect for prep is shredded chicken (or beef or pork) or meatloaf or steak (cut in very small pieces). The shredded chicken you can mix with all kinds of tastes like teriyaki or curry... whatever you prefer. It all heats up nicely in the microwave.
Stews or soups are good too. Instantpot is your friend. I use mine for all the meat or vegetables. Especially in the beginning you need as moist food as possible. Dry chicken will not sit well and if it is in a stew or with some liquid it works.
Some stuff is just too much work to prep. I make them fresh like eggs for breakfast.
This is how I started but I got lazy. It is a lot of work to prep for 2 weeks. That whole day is gone.
So... What I do now... And that is just me. I have small 5 oz plastic cups with lids. I put the meat in there and freeze those. Or I make little meatloafs (8 loaf sheet pan) with turkey and freeze those. Vegetables I buy now in a steamer bag (I got too lazy to prep vegetables) but one steamer lasts for 2 meals. And when it's time for dinner or lunch I just grab one meat item and a steamer and am good. The meat container I have already calculated and added to MyFitnessPal App. One click and the diary is done.
Variety is important or it gets boring. And... All this is for the stage when you can have all foods. :-)
I hope you did not want to prep for the whole family... That would be soooo much work. I am single so it is easier but really... Instantpot.
(sorry for the unstructured answer but I just wrote what was in my mind and that was not in any sequence.)
