Steel cut oats or if I'm really desperate quick oats will work in a pinch (but the texture is weird). I'll throw in a tiny bit of brown sugar and cream, maybe toasted ground flax if I have it, fresh blueberries, etc.
Boxed cereals I like Quaker Squares and Raisin Bran (yet hate raisins in general, go figure). Harvest Crunch is also great although there's enough honey in there I hesitate to call it non-sugary.

Pretty much all of these are still loaded with sugar. :-/
I call it old people cereal.
This stuff is just great.
Putting these on the to try list.
It even says it's the best on the box.
I love me some plain cornflakes.
I hated this crap so much as a kid.
I remember this lol.
Right now this is my goat cereal.
So fucking good.
18 grams of sugar. Those sugar covered raisins are sugary as all hell. Once again, more sugary than certain kinds of typical sugary cereal.

Fiber One original sticks.
It's actually nice because I can mix it with my favorite sugary cereals for a more fibrous meal that still tastes great.
Though honestly, these days I can enjoy plain Fiber One, plain Bran Flakes, and plain GoLean cereals no problem. Over time I've become more sickened with overly-sweet cereals.
Pretty much ALL varieties of Cheerios suck. Too sugary, not a satisfying crunch, not fibrous enough. Honey Nut are okay; if I had to choose a favorite it'd be Apple Cinnamon. But really, no number of varieties can remedy Cheerios' mediocrity.
And am I the only one who finds the "sugaring" of raisins in Raisin Bran to be a bit silly? Raisins are already sweet.

9 grams of sugar for every 3/4 cups. I may as well consider Chocolate Chex a non sugary cereal at this rate.

This stuff shredded the hell out of my mouth, thought I was gonna break a tooth eating it. Was all right besides that.

Crackling Oat Bran is delicious, some coconut in there that makes it so delicious.
Honey Bunches of Oats (or its knock-offs) is a close runner-up.

When I worked at Publix (grocery store in the southern US) I stocked a truck that had a bunch of organic and healthy products on it and I stocked this so it is available in the US just have to do a little digging.

Cracklin' Oat Bran is AMAZING. But it's full of sugar.
Prototip, do half a bowl of Cracklin' Oat Bran with half either plain Bran Flakes or Fiber One or even plain Mini Wheats. Something like that. You get a less sugary bowl of cereal that still tastes like Cracklin' Oat Bran.

Regular-ass Cheerios.
Also, keep your goddamn fruit away from my bowl.

Yeah I usually "water" both down with corn flakes or something.
and people wonder why obesity is an epidemic.

Corn flakes are horrible. They fall in line with Cheerios and Rice Krispies and other bland cereals.
Bran Flakes, wheat flakes, whole grain flakes, all the way. Not to offend. I just think such things taste better and have a more satisfying crunch.
But seriously, mixing cereals is my new thing. Other examples of sugary cereals I love are a Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. These days? Those are getting mixed, no doubt. They no longer satisfy on their own.
It's cereal. It's going to be made of oats/corn/things with sugar.

Well that's why I used "water" to describe the situation. They're not supposed to be tasty, they just nullify the more powerful cereal.
I eat cereal with almond milk these days and it makes everything taste good. I could probably eat cheerios these days, even.
Seriously. And it's not like this thread has to be about ONLY NO SUGAR CEREALS ONLY.
The cereal should at least have less sugar than Cocoa Pebbles.

That's a pretty low bar you're setting. Less than 10g of sugar? That eliminates everything with fruit, honey, and plenty of other healthy additions to cereal.
I call it old people cereal.
I eat this a lot. Also, that is made just down the street from me.
This isn't a "lying to yourself that the cereal you're eating is healthy" thread, it's a thread for super boring, non sugary cereal.

Healthiness is just one aspect. Cereal in general isn't even that healthy. It's just that the cereals you speak of, while tasty (depending on your tastes), aren't particularly hearty.
And I think "healthy" cereals, if we're even going to call them that, taste fantastic. It's not like I'm robbing myself of Count Chocolatey goodness, it's just that I no longer prefer those kinds of cereals in any way.
Looks like you and I found another commonality! I eat cereal primarily with Almond Milk these days as well.

just put two table spoon of sugar in there.
My god, people still eat this stuff? Euuurrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
What does that mean? What context? I would assume 15g per 100g which I wouldn't call sugary.

Porridge with a chopped banana and flaked almonds on top. Not steel-cut - I prefer the texture of the whole oats.
