Converting 5 grams of molasses to pints gives 0.01 pt. Divide by the density of molasses (340g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.

Formula and Step-by-Step
grams ÷ 340g/cup × 0.5 = pints
Start with 5 grams of molasses
1 cup of molasses = 340g
5g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.01 cups × 0.5 = 0.01 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 (5 grams) is highlighted.
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Pint?
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
About 0.01 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 5 grams: 5 ÷ 340 = 0.01 cups × 0.5 = 0.01 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: 0.01 pt ÷ 0.5 = 0.0147059 cups, then 0.0147059 × 340g/cup = 5g. Or use the Pints to Grams converter.
