Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.

In another bowl, combine banana, milk, honey and vanilla. Set this aside.

In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until it is pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and continue beating. Alternatively, add flour mixture and banana mixture. Beat until well blended.

In a small bowl combine nuts with remaining 1 tbsp flour. Mix well and add this to the batter.

Pour the prepared batter into the loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. It will take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
