Elvis lives in a cupcake! Our Test Kitchen took the King of Rock's favorite flavors and rolled them into a banana cupcake frosted with peanut butter and kissed by chocolate.

Elvis Cupcakes Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min. + cooling

Yield: 18 Servings

30 20 50

Ingredients

1-1/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
18 milk chocolate kisses
PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
Milk chocolate chips, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the bananas, mayonnaise and vanilla until well blended. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into banana mixture until blended.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter into each paper-lined muffin cup. Top each with a chocolate kiss, pointed side down. Fill cups two-thirds full with remaining batter.
Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve spreading consistency. Frost cupcakes. Garnish with chocolate chips if desired. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

My batch was gone before I had a chance to frost them. Huge hit with my family, even husband who does not eat bananas.

This is always a HUGE hit! Kids and Adults can't get enough! I love this recipe!!

What caught my eye was the mayo, no eggs, and the name! My issue is the frosting which slides off after a day and drenches the cupcake liners and plate with excess moisture. Perhaps it's my error. I might try them again with a cream cheese frosting.

Made these for a party once and have gotten multiple requests for them since - everyone loves them! (Even my husband, who doesn't usually like banana.) I usually use a little extra PB in the frosting - comes out more like a glaze.

I had to make these just because of the name. They are yummy! Instead of a chocolate kiss in the middle, I subbed a miniature peanut butter cup. Fun and tasty!
