5.42 cups of oat flour weighs 17.59 oz. This is based on oat flour having a density of 92g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 5.42 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.42 cups of oat flour
