MINI ELVIS CUPCAKES

Steps:

• 1. Although there are many components to this recipe, it's rather easy and fun to put together. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and line mini cupcake tins with paper liners and lightly mist with cooking spray. In medium size bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Mix with a spoon or fork to combine. Set aside.
• 2. In small bowl mash bananas and add sour cream. Mix well and set aside. Using an electric hand or stand mixer beat butter, oil and Splenda until incorporated (about 3-5 minutes). Add eggs, egg white and vanilla. Mix until combined. Add half the dry ingredients and mix until almost incorporated. Now add the creamy banana mixture and gently fold into batter. Add the rest of the dry ingredients, mix until incorporated and spoon into lined mini cupcake pans. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, remove from oven and let cool.
• 3. After the cupcakes have cooled about 30-40 minutes, get ready to do a little surgery. With small paring knife, cut a 1/2 inch conical circle in the middle of the top of the cupcakes to make a well.
• 4. Pull out the little coned plug and set it aside. You won't be using these again so feel free to munch on them while you're finishing the rest of the cupcakes.
• 5. Fill each hole with peanut butter and set these little darlings aside and get ready to make the frosting and candied bacon.
• 6. To make the bacon, dredge both sides of bacon slices in the Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. Place on foil lined baking sheet and bake 10 minutes in 350 degree oven. Turn and bake another 6-8 minutes. I checked my oven every 2 minutes because you don't want this important part of your dessert to be burned. Place cooked bacon on plate to cool. Do not put on papertowels as I'm used to doing with bacon, or it will stick! Chop bacon in chunks or in small crumbles. I couldn't decide, so went with both.
• 7. Set chopped bacon aside and make the simple frosting. In large bowl combine cream cheese, butter, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Add the confectioner's sugar, mix again and get ready to top the cupcakes. Take a dollop of your frosting (approx 1 T) and place atop your peanut butter filled banana cupcke. You can fancy this up with a piping bag, but I haven't mastered this yet. Plus Elvis would like it free form I believe. Now sprinkle on your candied bacon bits.
• 8. Or insert a larger slice of candied bacon to the frosting and let it shine alone on top. Either way you serve these I think you'll be pleased. I brought them to work today and they were gobbled up in no time.

MINI EGG CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 24-cup mini-muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the lemon zest. Beat in the whole egg, then the yolk, beating well after each addition; beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Beat on medium speed until combined.
• Divide the batter among the mini-muffin cups, filling them two-thirds of the way. Bake until the cupcakes are golden and the tops spring back when pressed, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes, then remove the cupcakes to the rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the butter, confectioners' sugar and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Add the vanilla and beat on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and beat until fluffy, about 1 more minute.
• Divide the frosting among 3 small bowls. Tint one yellow, one pink and one blue with food coloring. Drop alternating spoonfuls of the frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe the frosting in a swirl onto the cupcakes. Serve in a clean egg carton.
