How Much Is 341 Grams of Brown Sugar in Cups?
341 grams of brown sugar equals 1.55 cups. Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 341 grams of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 341g ÷ 220g/cup = 1.55 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If your brown sugar has hardened, microwave it with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds. Hard brown sugar is still the same weight but impossible to measure by volume.
