Healthy breakfast finger foods?

My 7 month old refuses to be spoonfed but he can't use it himself so I can only give him solid finger foods. I was trying to give him porridge cause its healthy but I can only spoon it to him. I've done omelette fingers and toast but that's not healthy to have every day
