Preheat oven to 400° F. Grease twenty-four 2-1/2" by 1-1/4" muffin-pan cups or line with paper baking liners. In large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, pumpkin-pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
In medium bowl, with wire whisk or fork, mix eggs, pumpkin, melted butter, 2/3 cup brown sugar, honey, and milk. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy).
Spoon batter into prepared muffin-pan cups. In small cup, combine remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over muffins. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, rotating pans between upper and lower racks halfway through baking, or until tops of muffins are browned and toothpick inserted in center of muffin comes out clean. Immediately remove muffins from pan; serve warm. Or cool on wire rack to serve later.
* Or use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves.
