Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 18 grams of breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs = 108g
- 18g ÷ 108g/cup = 0.17 cups × 16 = 2.67 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Breadcrumbs weigh 108g per cup when dry. Cooked weight per cup will be different.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
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 Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
