I don’t normally advocate oatmeal due to its high carbohydrate content, but athletes who engage in intense activity may need to seek out extra carbs before and after their workouts or competitions. These pancakes are an easy way to top up energy stores to help you perform at your best. And they travel well, so keep that in mind if your competition happens to be out of town.
