Preheat the oven to 180°C normal bake. Grease and line a 18 x 28 cm tin with baking paper. Place soft butter, mixed spice and sugar in a mixing bowl, whisk with an electrical mixer for approx. 5 minutes until creamy. Add eggs one at a time and mix evenly. Add melted dark chocolate and vanilla into the mixture. Blend the mashed bananas into the mix. Add flour and walnuts, and spread the batter uniformly into the prepared tin. Place in the middle of the oven and bake for approx. 40 minutes. Allow cooling before cutting into 16 slices. Store brownies in a closed container in the fridge.
