I was in the mood for pumpkin muffins, so I browsed several different recipes, and finally decided to combine a few different ones to come up with this recipe. And I thought that the pumpkin seed topping was a fun extra. I suppose you could leave them off, but pumpkin seeds on pumpkin muffins, what's not to love about that?Pumpkin Muffins
