  3. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups filling two-thirds full. In a small bowl combine remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
  4. Bake 15 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in the center. Remove muffins from pan and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve warm, or let cool completely.
