  5. To prepare the icing, stir together the cashew butter, maple syrup, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  6. Add water one tsp at a time, as needed to thin the icing to your desired consistency.
  7. Drizzle icing over the top of each muffin before serving. Muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
