Mexican Brownies Recipe

Preheat 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.

Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on Medium until the butter is about half melted about 1 minute. Mash the butter with sugar until well combined and stir in eggs one at a time incorporating each one before adding the next. Mix in vanilla extract.

Sift the cocoa flour cinnamon pequin pepper salt and baking powder into a bowl. Sprinkle in any salt caught in the sifter. Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture stirring to blend well and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

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 and use parchment paper handles to remove the brownies for slicing.
