Elvis' Favorite Banana Bread ~ Fit for a KING

"According to legend, Elvis Presley was esp. fond of peanut butter, banana, and bacon sammies". So here's a bread that's all shook up! As always, Dear Readers, please read recipes all the way through before embarking on a culinary journey - in this case - reserve the bacon grease, and remember when you see that I have used an asterisk* - it denotes changes I would make or suggestions to the original recipe......
(serves 12)

4 slices smoked* uncured* bacon (no nitrites or 'trites*), cooked until crisp (I bake mine*),
     reserve grease/fat, and chop when cooled
1&1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 T. peanut butter powder
1&1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. sea* salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup softened butter (I use Kerrygold*)
2 T/ bacon fat/grease
2 large eggs
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
Maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8&1/2x3&1/2" loaf pan. In a med. bowl, combine flours, P.B. powder, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugar and butter til creamy. Stir in the bacon fat/grease. Beat in the eggs, and bananas. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until combined Scrape into the prepared pan. Bake 45-55 min. or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Brush with maple syrup and sprinkle on chopped bacon.
