Pumpkin Chocolate Pudding Muffins (Easy, Delicious, And Healthy)

by Kristen

Pumpkin chocolate pudding muffins turn out slightly chocolaty and super moist!   This fall treat would be a great addition to any breakfast, lunch, snack, or dessert! Adding premade chocolate pudding adds another element to these pumpkin muffins!

Many muffin recipes call for sour cream or Greek Yogurt to add extra moisture. I decided to take it to the next level and add chocolate pudding to the batter instead.

Chocolate Pudding Pumpkin Muffins are a delicious fall muffin recipe packed with a chocolaty flavor that gives this super moist consistency. These chocolate pumpkin muffins are made with chocolate pudding that adds moisture to this easy recipe. Just follow simple instructions, and you will be amazed at how great your house smells as you remove these muffins from your oven.

Pumpkin is filled with vitamins! Pumpkin contains vitamins a, b, c, k, fiber, and protein. Pumpkin is low in cholesterol.

Note: You can easily add some cream cheese frosting to these and present them as cupcakes!

Storage

These muffins will stay fresh at room temperature for three days. You can also freeze these muffins by storing them in an airtight freezer bag. To thaw the frozen muffins, remove them from the freezer and set them out or warm them in the microwave. I do not recommend storing these pumpkin chocolate muffins in the refrigerator. They will quickly dry out and become stale.
