• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 medium Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 3 strips Cooked crispy bacon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the peanut butter frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy.

Step 9

Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and beat until the frosting is light and creamy.

Step 10

Spread or pipe the peanut butter frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.

Step 11

Crumble the cooked crispy bacon on top of each frosted cupcake as a garnish.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your Elvis-inspired cupcakes!
