How Much Is 0.02 Cups of Peanut Butter in Ounces?
0.02 cups of peanut butter equals 0.18 oz. Peanut butter has a density of 258g per cup (258g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 0.02 cups of all-purpose flour would be 0.09 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.02 cups of peanut butter
- 1 cup of peanut butter = 258g
- 0.02 × 258 = 5.16g
- Convert grams to ounces: 5.16 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Spoon peanut butter into the measuring cup and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the jar, which traps air.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
