If you want eggs for breakfast and view them solely as fuel, why not boil and peel a batch once per week then have an egg or two straight from the fridge at the start of the day? 0 morning prep time. Similarly, if you pre-cook a bunch of bacon and pack it away into the freezer, it’s a matter of seconds to microwave some hot bacon in the morning.
I find that US grocery stores often have frozen breakfast options—I’m partial to the sandwiches with some cheese, some meat, and some egg on an English muffin or similar. They can take some experimentation to figure out how your microwave best reheats them, and can also be DIY’d if you’d rather spend the prep time to make a big batch every week or two and control what ingredients go in.
Instant oatmeal packets are a popular breakfast option here, and dumping a packet into a bowl with some boiling water is about as low-effort as cooking can get and still be cooking. Depending on what you’re doing to make your porridge, you may find it lower-effort to prep it like overnight oats.
