When as in question, not the time something happened, that’d be の時 for nouns and た時 for verbs.
I think 笑い出した would be more natural for burst into laughter.
If you just remove the いつ, it would be: my friend slipped on a banana peel, and I started laughing.
滑る is also intransitive, so slip on something, not slip something.

So it might be better as:
僕の友人は バナナの皮で滑ってた時、僕は笑い出した。
？

Better, yes. I might add a に after 時, but here it just looks like you’re omitting it.
The amount of ぼくs make it sound a bit weird, but that’s normal at the start. I’m also still unsure about double はs in a sentence, so I’d probably avoid it.
I would say it like this:
友達がバナナの皮で滑った時、僕は笑い出した。
Disclaimer: I usually don’t edit sentences because I don’t want to make a mistake and have someone think the way I say something is the correct one, so I usually just mention what I feel is wrong or could be improved.

I was unsure about double 僕 and は but I didn’t know if 友達 was too informal compared to 友人 (like the way you need to say 母 not お母さん)

友人 is fine, but do you have friends that you couldn’t say are your friends informally? 
Or do you mean informal speech towards other people? Nah, I’d say it’s fine.
