Molasses cups to grams chart
| Amount | Grams | Ounces |
|---|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 42.1 g | 1.49 oz |
| 1/4 cup | 84.3 g | 2.97 oz |
| 1/3 cup | 112 g | 3.96 oz |
| 1/2 cup | 169 g | 5.94 oz |
| 2/3 cup | 225 g | 7.92 oz |
| 3/4 cup | 253 g | 8.92 oz |
| 1 cup | 337 g | 11.9 oz |
| 1 1/2 cups | 506 g | 17.8 oz |
| 2 cups | 674 g | 23.8 oz |
| 3 cups | 1,011 g | 35.7 oz |
| 1 tbsp | 21.1 g | 0.74 oz |
| 2 tbsp | 42.1 g | 1.49 oz |
| 1 tsp | 7 g | 0.25 oz |
| 1/2 tsp | 3.5 g | 0.12 oz |
Each row is USDA’s 1-cup weight (337 g) times the amount. A tablespoon is 1/16 cup and a teaspoon is 1/48 cup, so 1 tbsp = 337 ÷ 16 = 21.1 g. Ounces are grams ÷ 28.3495. USDA also weighed small measures on their own (1 serving 1 tbsp: 20 g). Those can differ from the cup-based rows by a few tenths of a gram because each weight is rounded.
Molasses grams to cups
| Weight | Cups | Closest measure |
|---|---|---|
| 25 g | 0.07 | 1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp |
| 50 g | 0.15 | 2 tbsp + 1 tsp |
| 100 g | 0.3 | 1/4 cup + 2 1/4 tsp |
| 200 g | 0.59 | 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp |
| 250 g | 0.74 | 2/3 cup + 1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp |
| 500 g | 1.48 | 1 1/3 cups + 2 tbsp + 1 1/4 tsp |
Cups = grams ÷ 337. The last column rounds to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon using a standard set of cups and spoons.

Measuring molasses by the cup
Thick syrups cling to the cup, so some never reaches the bowl. Weighing straight into the bowl with the scale zeroed avoids that.
