Rum Raisin Brownies

Step 1
Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2
Combine the raisins and rum in a small bowl; set aside to soak.

Step 3
Heat the whipping cream in a small pot over medium-low heat until hot, but do not allow to boil. Remove from heat and stir the chocolate chips into the hot cream until completely melted. Set aside to cool.

Step 4
Sift the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and cinnamon together into a bowl. Beat the eggs into the flour mixture individually; mix gently. Stir the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture until incorporated. Fold the raisins, any remaining rum, and the pecans into the batter; spread into the prepared baking pan.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes.
