Instructions

Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×9-inch baking pan with 2.5-inch-high sides. Line with parchment paper so it hangs over the edges on two sides. Set aside. (This recipe can also be made in a 9×13-inch pan for a thinner brownie, cooking for 30 to 35 minutes.)
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Create a double boiler and melt butter and chocolate over simmering water. Stir chocolate and butter in this double boiler until melted and smooth.
In a medium bowl beat together eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir in warm chocolate mixture, then the dry ingredients. Fold in all of your mix-ins. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 45-50 minutes.
Cool for at least 20 minutes then slice with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife with hot water if it gets too messy.
