Flour is generally thought to be fattening because it is the basic ingredient in so many very high-calorie foods like pizza, pies, cakes, etc. However, a quick glance at the flour chart below shows clearly that flour is not the culprit in these fattening foods. A pancake made with cake flour and served with maple syrup made with the recipe in the left column, would contain only 200 calories, adding 1/2 cup of toasted okara to the pancake, would triple the size of the pancake, adding only 45 more calories to the meal.
