The last minute or so should be at the highest possible speed. Add vanilla and continue whipping until it is very light and fluffy.Whip in egg yolks, and then bananas.Gradually add butter to flour, making sure that you mix and beat well. There is very little leavining in this other than the air, so the air and steam will be important in helping this to rise. Add nuts at the end by hand. Fold in the egg whites, folding well (so they are mixed in, but the batter is still fluffy). Scrape batter into a non-stick bread pan.
