Scoop out the batter and fill in the liners till 3/4th.Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 18-20 mins.

Notes

I used brown sugar so used 3/4 cup as its less sweet, if you want you can add white sugar but reduce a bit.
The baking time depends on the size of the muffins so check and bake accordingly.
You can add choco chips or tutti frutti or even nuts to make it rich and yummy.
You can replace butter with oil too.
