I too am a fan of the smoothie (fresh fruits, any kind plus soy/almond milk and maybe some protein powder) easy to make in advance too. The recipe below is a good grab&go option with a couple pieces of fruit or a smoothie or maybe a boiled egg:
No added sugar (though the original recipe called for 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar). Calorie count is via MFP Recipes.

All Purpose Flour , 1.25 cup
Baking Powder Aluminum Free, 1 tsp
Baking soda, 0.5 tsp
Cinnamon, ground, 0.5 tsp

I have adapted a quinoa oatmeal bake substituting for the oatmeal because I have trouble digesting it. Here's the recipe:
Mix together dry ingredients:
1 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup Bob's 7 or 9-grain cereal (uncooked)
1/2 unsweetened coconut
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ginger
dash of allspice
1 tsp. sea salt
In separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients:
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/4 cup maple syrup (I use sugar-free)
Mix wet and dry ingredients and set aside.
In the bottom of a prepared baking dish (I use a 9" round casserole), place 2 cups chopped fruit of choice (I generally use two different fruits - apples, bananas, blueberries, peaches - whatever I have). Top with mixture. Over top, sprinkle 1 Tbl quinoa flakes and 1 Tbl coconut. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. I cut this into 6 servings (roughly 290 calories per serving). I usually make it on Sunday and have a piece every morning. I pour a little almond milk over it and heat it up in the microwave a little bit, but it's good cold, too. If you can eat oatmeal, use that instead of Bob's grain cereal.0
