3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/3 cups instant chocolate pudding mix
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Mix in pepper, pudding mix and eggs. Stir in vegetable oil.
Place 1/2 cup of the flour mixture in the center of each muffin. Fold the top of the flour mixture out to make a looser muffin. Fill the muffin half way with the flour mixture. Using a slide mat or spoon, slide muffins, making sure not to make too much of a mess, onto greased paper liners.
Using the slightly softened spatula, shape batter into 3 even squares.
Bake in preheated oven for 18 60 minute muffins. Cool completely (see Cooling Instructions).
