In a separate smaller bowl, combine milk, buttermilk, vanilla, egg, juices, melted butter, and orange zest. Make a well in center of dry ingredients and pour in liquid mixture. Stir just until all dry ingredients are moistened and incorporated, do not over mix. Fill muffin cups about 1/4 full. Place a small dollop of chocolate pudding filling in center of cup, then fill cup with batter until about 2/3 full.
