A wonderfully moist fat free chocolate muffin, and a sneaky way to get that nutritious beta carotene! My kids have no idea they are eating pumpkin! They actually ask for these babies. The pudding mix is optional, it adds some sweetness and moistness, but you don't need it. The addition will add to your baking time 5-10 minutes.
