Sounds decadent, right? Well, I ‘healthied’ it up for you and made this with whole grains and a real dairy pudding from scratch. I started out by using the Muffin Mix I’ve posted about umpteen times, then I used Homemade Chocolate Pudding in the middle.
After you make the pudding, set it aside to cool while you make the muffin batter. I made batter for 3 dozen muffins.
Chocolate Pudding Muffins
- 6 cups muffin mix
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder (I used organic, fair trade)
- 3 cups milk or sour milk (I used whey from making cottage cheese)
- 1 cup canola oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 recipe Homemade Chocolate Pudding (you will only need part of the recipe, so you can snack on the rest) 🙂
Mix all ingredients, except pudding, until just combined. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 1/3 full. Add a small spoonful of chocolate pudding into the center of each cup. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 400 F for 15 – 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from tins and cool on rack. Refrigerate when cool.
Fill the cups 1/3 full with batter, add a small spoonful of pudding, then top with remaining batter.
Try not to eat them all in one sitting so you have some to enjoy the next day. 🙂
Judging my how fast these muffins are disappearing, they may be a new favorite in our household! What is your favorite chocolate recipe?
These look so delicious Lisa Lynn! Thank you for sharing your recipe with us and I hope to welcome you over at Seasonal Celebration again today! Rebecca @Natural Mothers Network x
Than you Rebecca…hope to make it over there soon!
My favorite chocolate recipe is my mom’s brownies. But those aren’t healthy. I’m delighted to find a muffin mix! I’ve been looking for some healthy mix recipes to keep in the pantry for days I am too busy to cook from scratch. These, and the pudding recipe look wonderful.
Ok, I know my kids will go completely bonkers for these! I am writing down this recipe now and we are going to make these soon! 🙂 Thanks so much for linking up with “Try a New Recipe Tuesday.” I hope you will be able to join us again this week. 🙂

Thanks for hosting the fun ‘A Favorite Thing Party’ Claudia!
Yummmmm!
🙂 They disappeared very quickly!
These look yummy for sure! I’ll have to try it. Do you eat them for dessert or breakfast?
Hi Rachel,
I’ve eaten them for both! Since they’re made with wholesome ingredients and not a lot of sugar, I figure they are ok for breakfast too. 🙂
