How Much Is 200 Grams of Peanut Butter in Tablespoons?
Converting 200 grams of peanut butter to tablespoons gives 12.40 tbsp. Divide by the density of peanut butter (258g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 200 grams of peanut butter
- 1 cup of peanut butter = 258g
- 200g ÷ 258g/cup = 0.78 cups × 16 = 12.40 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Spoon peanut butter into the measuring spoon and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the jar, which traps air.

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.
