100 grams of molasses equals 0.15 pt. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup. Because grams measure weight and pints measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.

Formula and Step-by-Step
grams ÷ 340g/cup × 0.5 = pints
Start with 100 grams of molasses
1 cup of molasses = 340g
100g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.29 cups × 0.5 = 0.15 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
Molasses at Different Amounts
How molasses scales across common grams measurements. Your amount (100 grams) is highlighted.
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Pint?
A US pint equals 473.176 ml, 2 cups, or 16 fluid ounces. It is used for liquids, ice cream, and other volume measurements in American cooking.
About 0.15 pt, based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 340 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 0.5 to get pints. For 100 grams: 100 ÷ 340 = 0.29 cups × 0.5 = 0.15 pt.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of molasses changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 0.15 pt ÷ 0.5 = 0.294118 cups, then 0.294118 × 340g/cup = 100g. Or use the Pints to Grams converter.
