1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
3. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Break up any lumps of brown sugar with fingers.

4. To the dry ingredients, add ¾ c of the chocolate chips, buttermilk-egg mixture, and melted butter. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix until until just combined.
