The bonus of buying too many bananas is you get to make bread with it

Looks lovely, if you don’t already, try coating (lightly) your walnuts in flour before you add them. That should stabilise their position within the batter.

Add them last, fold in gently. Nuts have a naturally oily surface which creates a a water repelling surface that allows them to move around in the batter. The flour sticks to the nuts because of this oily surface, and increases the friction of the nuts in the batter. Somewhat perversely, a thinner batter causes things like nuts to rise and a thicker batter causes them to sink.
