Yield: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients: 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts; 1/4 cup peanut oil; 2 eggs, beaten; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/4 cup heavy cream; 8 slices banana bread; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 2 ripe bananas; 1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs; 1/4 cup peanut oil; 4 teaspoons honey

For the bananas: Cut bananas into quarters and dip into the same egg mixture as above, then roll the bananas in the bread crumbs until well covered. In a nonstick pan, heat 1/4 cup of peanut oil until nearly smoking and fry bananas until golden brown, remove from oil and place on a paper towel as well.
For assembly: Spread both sides of banana bread with peanut puree and layer with the fried bananas. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of honey. Close the sandwich and slice.
