Ingredients
- 2 sticks 1 cup salted butter
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 ounce 70% chocolate chopped, 60-70% works
- 1 cup flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter on low heat. Remove from heat and add the sugar and chopped chocolate.
- Add eggs and vanilla. Fold in and mix with a wooden spoon.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, chili powder, baking powder and a pinch salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the sauce pan and fold in until combined. I like to add the flour in two parts, half and half.
- Stir until semi-smooth and pour into a 9×9 pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes… do NOT over bake! That is my biggest advice! The center should still be a little gooey when you take it out. Enjoy these delicioso Mexican chocolate brownies!!
