Calories per Cup of Flour
Look, I’m not saying you need to start counting every grain of flour like it’s a crime scene. Baking is an act of love, and love doesn’t come with a nutrition label. But knowing that a cup of flour has about 455 calories helps explain why one cinnamon roll can fuel a whole afternoon of errands—or a whole nap.
So the next time you’re making a pie crust and you pour in that flour, give it a little nod. Respect the powder. It’s not the boss of you, but it’s definitely the quiet coworker who does all the heavy lifting while getting zero credit.
And if anyone asks about the calories? Just smile, say “flour is mostly air” (it’s not), and eat your cookie. You’ve earned it.
