In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, add the milk, honey, oil and vanilla extract.
Use a fork to mash the bananas, then add them to the egg mixture.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
Grease and flour a load tin, then pour the batter in.
Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean (I placed the tin on the middle rack in the oven after 20 minutes, to avoid the top from browning too quickly.

Notes

I used half white flour, half wholemeal flour: you can either use white only, or wholemeal only - it's up to you
vegetable oil can be replaced with coconut oil or olive oil; or, why not, butter
walnuts can be added too, or almonds or any other nuts of your choice for a nice crunch
regular milk can be swapped for soy milk or any other plant-based milk
other ingredients that can be added: raisins, dates, chopped dried apricots or any other dried fruit
