I reduced the amount of oil noted in the Skratch recipe and that seems to help… Maybe they add it to boost the calories? A pro rider needs three times the calories per hour that us mere mortals need. (I wish my FTP was 400+ and I could ride at an IF of 0.85 for hours and have this so called “under fueling problem”.)
Edit: Now that I think about it, the oiliness does make swallowing the rice cake bites on the road a lot easier than if I was eating plain rice at home.
