All Bran.
Museli.
Just Right.
Saltana Bran.
Puffed wheat.
Shredded wheat. (their are also mini-wheats which are a different brand - but have a look at the nutritional labels; so are really good, low GI, low in fat, salt and sugar; but the ones with 'fruit' inside, not so much...)
Hey there DS has avo and banana mashed up together with some LSA or flaxseed oil and sometimes I add puffed amaranth to or another grain. I still prepare portions of other cooked grains like quinoa, millet, tapioca with coconut cream, cinnamon & nutmeg, barley, amaranth, oats, corn or veg pasta, really well cooked brown rice and then putting in the freezer. There's so many more grains out there too, I basically give ds anything other than wheat. You can then thaw them out and add fresh fruit to them like kiwi, mango, etc or mix them into yoghurt. I thought I'd be well past the premade portion thing but ds still likes this sort of thing for breakfast and it's way healthier than anything that you can buy. I know you don't like porridge but it can be ultra yummy to make a mix of half oats, half semolina with some cut up dried fruit and nuts as your ds loves them. Soak over night and heat up in the morning, the semolina makes it taste like that yummy hari christner dessert halva and you can even add custard to it (drool) We often give ds a smoothie too, with all the good stuff in it, oat milk, whey powder, honey, fruit, fresh home grown sprouts (now that we have a sprout maker), LSA num,num,num

smoothies are a favourite here. DS mostly has banana ones but it's a great way to get rid of very ripe fruit. and you can put whatever you want in it - milk or yoghurt, different fruits, some oats etc.
on sundays i'll often make pancakes - but healthy ones with wholemeal flour, mashed banana & honey.
With pancakes you can use so any different things to replace white flour - almond meal, atta flour, besan, finely pulverized rolled oats. Mmmmmm.....pancakes *insert guttural gurgling sound*
