In a medium bowl, slightly melt the butter. Add in the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Add the cocoa, flour, cinnamon, chili powder, salt and baking powder and mix until smooth.
Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake 25 to 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle, and it should come out fudgy.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan about 20 minutes. When ready to serve, pull the parchment paper to lift out the brownies before slicing.
