Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla for 30–45 seconds until smooth.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  4. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined.
  5. Divide the batter among the muffin cups, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and rest for 5 minutes.
  6. Bake for 18–21 minutes, until the tops spring back and a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer the muffins to a wire rack.
