The Elvis

Have you heard of an Elvis Cupcake?  I had one from a local cupcake store and it was one of the best things I'd ever had.  Peanut butter, banana and chocolate all went into the mix...and after looking up how to make them so did a cup of mayonnaise?! 

I still love the mix of flavors though even if the idea of a cup of mayonnaise makes my thighs jiggle so I came up with this recipe using a VitaTop.  The original idea was for this to be a stuffed VitaTop sandwich but since my filling wasn't firm enough it came out more of a VitaTop yogurt but boy was it good.  The Deep Chocolate top was hot and melty like a brownie just out of the oven and the yogurt/frozen banana mixture was cold and creamy so it was a perfect blend of not only flavors but sensations.  It would be a great dessert too!



The Elvis
Serves 1
Ingredients

1 Deep Chocolate VitaMuffin VitaTop
1/3 cup low fat vanilla yogurt, I used Stonyfield
1/2 frozen banana
1 Tbsp PB2 or peanut butter

Directions

1.  Microwave the VitaTop for 18 seconds then toast, if preferred.

2. Blend the yogurt, banana and PB2.

3.  Split the VitaTop, place the bottom half in your bowl, top with the yogurt mixture and top with the remaining half of VitaTop. (Or just plot that hot VitaTop right on top).

My oldest loves the peanut butter, chocolate, banana combo. I think he might want to try this when it's his turn to choose dessert.

Mayo? Really? My stomach just lurched a bit.

Your Vita Top stand-ins sound infinitely better!
