Because they contain whole wheat flour and are made with pudding, these chocolate chip and pecan muffins are a little healthier.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, white sugar, brown sugar, pudding mix, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Beat milk, oil, and egg together in a separate bowl. Stir into flour mixture until combined.
- Coat chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon flour and fold into the batter. Fold in pecans. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full of batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tin briefly before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Use any flavor pudding mix you prefer. I’ve tried vanilla, cheesecake, lemon, and chocolate, and they are all good so far.
- Decrease baking time to 12 to 14 minutes for mini muffins.
