Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a piece of parchment paper in an 8” square pan – use a long enough piece to create small flaps that hang over the edge of the pan as “handles”. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray and set aside.
In a small sauce pan, add 1 cup of water and set to medium heat. Add the honey or coconut sugar, butter and salt to a medium-sized heat-safe bowl. Place bowl over the sauce pan - this is the double-boiler method. Stir the honey-butter-salt mixture until melted. Remove from heat once melted.
Add in the cocoa and vanilla extract into the bowl and stir. Next, add the eggs, and stir.
Fold the flour and baking powder to the mixture. Add ½ cups chocolate chips to the bowl, and gently fold into the batter.
Pour the batter into prepared pan, spreading it evenly pushing it to the edges and corners.
Sprinkle on the remaining chocolate chips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 33-38 minutes. Remove from heat.
