- Fold in the cashew nuts and pineapple until well combined.
- Lay muffin papers on muffin pan.
- Fill the lined muffin papers 3/4ths full with the muffin batter.
- Bake in the oven for 16-18 minutes.
- While the muffins are baking in the oven, make the orang glaze. Combine orange juice, water and sugar in a small sauce pan. Turn on the heat to medium, stir until sugar is dissolved and let it simmer until it is thickened.
- Once the muffins, remove from the muffin pan to prevent from overcooking.
