METHOD – MAKES 40

• SOAK CASHEWS 2-3 HOURS IN HOT WATER BEFORE STARTING

• PREHEAT OVEN 175 DEGREES

• COMBINE DRY INGREDIENTS IN A LARGE BOWL

• IN A SEPARATE BOWL, MIX WET INGREDIENTS

• POUR WET INGREDIENTS INTO DRY AND MIX THOROUGHLY, STIR THROUGH DICED APPLE

• 3/4 FILL MINI MUFFIN TINS WITH MIX (I USED PATTY CASES, OTHERWISE ENSURE YOU GREASE CUPS). BAKE FOR 15 MINS OR UNTIL GOLDEN & A WOODEN SKEWER COMES OUT CLEAN, ALLOW TO COOL BEFORE ICING

• TO MAKE FROSTING, BLEND ALL INGREDIENTS IN A HIGH SPEED BLENDER, ADDING WATER UNTIL SMOOTH

• STORE IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER, I KEEP IN THE FRIDGE, CAN BE FROZEN

YOU COULD ADD IN BLUEBERRIES TO THE MIX, YOU COULD LEAVE MAPLE SYRUP OUT OF FROSTING & ADD VANILLA EXTRACT FOR A VANILLA FROSTING, MIGHT NEED TO INCREASE WATER
