• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 350°F. Spray the inside of an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray or oil. Line the pan with parchment paper, and then spray the parchment with nonstick spray or oil as well.

2. 2

   Add flour, cocoa powder, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add butter and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture has completely melted.

4. 4

   Remove from heat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

5. 5

   Add the eggs and egg yolk. Stir until well combined.

6. 6

   Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Fold together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Try not overmix.

7. 7

   Pour the batter in the prepared baking pan and bake for 32-36 minutes, until the center is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.

8. 8

   Garnish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt (optional), then let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Transfer them to a cutting board and slice them into squares before serving.
