Looking for breakfast ideas (self.vegan)

I think I'm ready to give vegan a try, but I'm struggling with breakfast ideas. Mostly I'd meal prep egg and bacon burritos or just have some toast with jam.

I used to be a cereal person but after having my gallbladder removed I developed an intolerance to lactose. And I haven't found any good alternatives for milk or cheese that I like, so I've basically cut them out of my diet. Plus most cereal is loaded with sugar, and...

I found out yesterday that I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is a little high. So, I'm trying to move away from animal products and sugar.

I will occasionally have toast with peanut butter and banana on it, but that's so calorie dense, I only eat it on days I know I'll be doing a lot of physical activities. Most days I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours.

So really the only other thing I can think of is oatmeal. And eating a bowl full of something hot is the last thing I want to do after my morning walk. I'm in Texas so it's hot even when I go out at 5 AM.

I'm looking for ideas that can, preferably, be meal prepped or take less than 5 minutes to make. But I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!

I've gotten into polenta recently. I cook it up ahead of time and put it in a sealed dish in the fridge. When it cools and sets up, it's easy to slice into sections and eat as finger food. I can eat it plain, with hot sauce or sometimes I'll saute up vegetables (peppers, onions, zucchini, whatever) and add them to the polenta before it cools. The particularly cool thing is that I can eat it hot or cold. Once it's set up, it toasts up nicely too.
