Tips:
- Use fresh or frozen pumpkin seeds. If using fresh pumpkin seeds, rinse them well and pat them dry before using. If using frozen pumpkin seeds, thaw them completely before using.
- Be sure to use extra sharp cheddar cheese. This will give the muffins the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
