¼ cup packed dark-brown sugar

In another bowl, whisk together both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir oil, egg, and brown sugar into cereal mixture, then fold in flour mixture.
2- Divide batter evenly among lined cups.Bake, rotating tin halfway through, until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
