Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 340g/cup × 16 = tablespoons
  1. Start with 199.96 grams of molasses
  2. 1 cup of molasses = 340g
  3. 199.96g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.59 cups × 16 = 9.41 tablespoons

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 spoon 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.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

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 Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 9.41 tbsp, 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 16 to get tablespoons. For 199.96 grams: 199.96 ÷ 340 = 0.59 cups × 16 = 9.41 tbsp.
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 spoon 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: 9.41 tbsp ÷ 16 = 0.588118 cups, then 0.588118 × 340g/cup = 199.96g. Or use the Tablespoons to Grams converter.
