Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large muffin pan with non-stick spray containing flour.

Place Cheerios in a large plastic bag. Using a rolling pin break up the cheerios into  very small pieces, but not into a powder.
Chop walnuts into small pieces using a large knife or a nut grinder.
Mash bananas using a fork.

In a large bowl place, Cheerios, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and chopped walnuts. Mix together to blend all ingredients. Add mashed banana and mix together.

In a two cup measuring cup or small bowl add, 2/3 cup Almond milk, one egg white and 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil. mix well to combine liquids.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir only until the ingredients are just combined.  Fold in the blueberries. Do not overmix the batter or the muffins will become tough.

Using a large scoup, fill each muffin cup about two thirds full of batter. Fill any unused muffin cups half way with water to prevent warping and over browning of the muffins.
 
Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 19 to 21 minutes. Test by inserting a tooth pick into the center of a muffin and it comes out clean, with no uncooked  batter.

Allow muffins to sit 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Note: Any nuts can be used in place of the walnuts if you are allergic ...
