3. Stir cocoa powder, oil, vanilla, and chopped chocolate into the cooled browned butter until melted and smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and light brown sugar for 5-6 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved.
5. Add powdered sugar to the egg mixture and whisk for an additional 1-2 minutes.
6. Combine the browned butter mixture with the egg mixture, then stir in flour and chocolate chips until just incorporated.
7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is shiny and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Cool in the pan for 1-2 hours before slicing with a warmed, sharp knife.
