How far is your commute? If I do my 20 miler on just a cup of tea I find the ride fine but I get snoozy at about 10am, having a small bowl of cereal half an hour before leaving the house seems to solve that, but I don't notice any difference in the ride.
Not far, only about 7 miles each way. However I do tend to go at a steady 18mph on a fixed.
I hardly ever ate breakfast until about 5 years ago. I'd often scuttle off to work on an espresso and around 10ish I'd then pop around the corner to get something to eat. I used to use this 10ish meal as my breakfast and then eat again about 2ish where lunch would kick in. Weekends weren't too disimilar either so I just went with what my body wanted and when.
Even if I go on long rideouts I rarely eat a big breakie, often only a coupe of hard boiled eggs and coffee and even then it's quite a struggle to eat the eggs, but go on the fact that I must need something or I'll colapse.
When I used to train and race years ago I'd eat like a horse, but then I'd be burning 7000 calories a day so I needed some thing, but that was a few years ago now.
Try something that isn't too "breakfasty", perhaps that you can prepare the night before.
I would suggest malt loaf, buttered and sliced the night before, maybe some fruit.
I'm the same. The thought of anything more than coffee in a morning turns my stomach. Once I've been up for an hour or so I could eat, but don't really feel a need to. I'll generally have lunch about 1pm, though it can be anywhere from 11am to just skipping straight through till teatime. If I'm busy, I sometimes just forget to eat. When I do eat, I typically eat large portions.
The rest of last night's kebab washed down with that half full tinnie of white cider.
I go to bed thinking about breakfast 
I get up a minimum of an hour before I need to leave the house, so I can sit down in front of the BBC news website/TV and have a bowl of cereal and toast. Don't bother with a coffee/tea though strangely.
If you can't face brekkie, try cheese on toast. I challenge anyone to push away a plate of cheese on toast, even after a Sunday lunch I think I'd go for it
Also I eat really well. I'm very considerate about the stuff I put in my body, always have been, always will be. So I've never eaten Shreddies or Frosties or that kinda thing. I just see that stuff as hollow callories, nothing like that enters my body (no, no it's not a temple)
MrsBouy has been feeding me Porridge with pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, black pepper, honey and sometimes rasins.. It is rather lovely but a little too much first thing..
One thing about eggs and espresso... It has a rather windy effect, you deffo need to be at the tail end of a group..
