  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese mixture, and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, with some lumps remaining.

  7. Fill muffin cups almost to the top with the batter.
