Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a mini muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, applesauce, vanilla, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Add the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
