Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12x15-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about 3 inches of paper overhanging 2 sides to use as handles.
Step 2
Place butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on medium until butter is half melted, about 1 minute. Transfer butter to a large bowl; add sugar and mash until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Step 3
Sift flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and pequin pepper into a medium bowl. Sprinkle in any salt caught in the sifter. Mix flour mixture into butter mixture, stirring to blend well. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan. Use parchment paper handles to remove brownies for slicing.
