Quick, gluten-free pancakes that actually fit into a busy weekday morning are rarer than they should be.

Liezl Jayne Strydom, the lifestyle creator behind a steady stream of weight-loss-friendly recipe videos, released a new breakfast guide in October 2017 covering the meals she actually eats on repeat. The video, titled “Easy Healthy Breakfast Ideas (+ quick pancakes),” runs through her go-to morning options for followers who want something fast, filling, and free of refined sugar. It’s less a cooking tutorial than a rundown of what’s realistically achievable before 8 a.m.

  • Strydom’s video centers on a quick pancake recipe built to be gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined-sugar-free.
  • She also demonstrates customized oatmeal bowls and simple whole-food combinations using rolled oats, bananas, coconut oil, nuts, and fresh fruit toppings.
  • Every recipe featured is designed for minimal prep time and no complex cooking technique, aimed at people short on time in the morning.

The Pancake Recipe at the Center of the Video

The headline recipe is Strydom’s rapid pancake method, which she flags as one of her personal favorites in the entire video. It skips wheat flour, dairy milk, and refined sugar in favor of pantry staples that most health-conscious viewers already keep on hand, and it’s built to go from bowl to plate in a handful of minutes rather than the twenty-plus a traditional pancake breakfast can eat up.

That speed is the whole selling point. Strydom’s audience skews toward people trying to eat cleaner without overhauling their entire morning routine, and a pancake recipe that’s both gluten-free and quick removes the usual excuse for grabbing something processed on the way out the door.

Oatmeal and Whole-Food Bowls

Beyond the pancakes, Strydom walks through customized oatmeal preparations built around rolled oats, sliced bananas, coconut oil, and a mix of nuts and fresh fruit for topping. The emphasis throughout is on fiber and nutrient density rather than calorie counting, which lines up with the same high-fiber logic behind lists like 8 Foods Men Should Eat Everyday.

She also features a simple whole-food bowl option that she says she leans on often when mornings are tightest — described in the video as the recipe she’s “been having a lot” lately for a fast, no-fuss breakfast.

These are seriously some of my FAVE breakfasts at the moment — especially the super quick healthy pancakes.

The Importance of Ingredient Lists

None of the ingredients in Strydom’s lineup are exotic. Rolled oats, bananas, coconut oil, and raw nuts are all staples that keep well and don’t require a special grocery run, which is part of why the video reads more like a routine than a novelty recipe demo. Readers looking to build out their pantry with similarly functional additions might also check out breakdowns like Top 13 Probiotic Foods or 3 Science-Based Tips to Lose Belly Fat, both of which cover the same gluten-free, low-processing territory Strydom favors.

The through-line across every option she shows — pancakes, oatmeal, or the whole-food bowl — is that each one avoids gluten, dairy, and refined sugar without asking the cook to learn a new technique. That’s the practical pitch: nothing here requires a blender you don’t own or a step you’ll skip on a Tuesday.
