Wonderful! Thay had a great, cake-like consistancy! I halved the recipe twice and got 5 medium muffins. I didn't have enough pumpkin so I used half banana which worked fine, but I woudl probably just go and buy more pumpkin next time because the banana flavour did come out a bit after baking. There wasn't enough liquid to incorperate the dry ingrediants (maybe because I added a bit more sugar and cocoa?) so I added a mix of applesauce and mashed banana until it had a better consistancy. I did not use the pudding mix, but I threw in some chocolate chips (hey, they still are pretty good for you!) Thanks for the great recipe I will use again!

These are really good! I was hoping for dense, fudgey chocolate, and this is! I left out the salt; I did use pudding mix but still baked for just 15 minutes. The toothpick does not come out clean, but trust me, after 15 min. they're done! I did add 1/2 cup applesauce to get just a little more liquid, and it seemed perfect. Anyone who regularly eats a lowfat diet will like these.
