5 -6 ripe bananas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts, chopped
1/3 cup frozen butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
10 slices bacon, cooked and halved
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon nonfat milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut 4 bananas into 2-inch pieces; halve each piece lengthwise.
Mash remaining bananas to equal ½ cup.
Sift together flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl; add mashed bananas and peanuts.
Grate butter over flour mixture, using large holes of a box grater.
Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly.
Add buttermilk, stirring just until mixture is slightly moistened.
Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface; shape into a ball.
Pat into a ½-inch thick circle.
Cut with a floured 3-inch round cutter, and place biscuits 1 inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
Meanwhile, make Peanut Butter Spread-stir together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave at HIGH at 30-second intervals until softened; stir until smooth.
Split warm biscuits; spread bottom halves of biscuits with Peanut Butter Spread.
Top each with 2 bacon pieces and 2 banana slices.
Cover with biscuit tops.
