Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 26.88 grams of peanut butter
- 1 cup of peanut butter = 258g
- 26.88g ÷ 258g/cup = 0.10 cups × 16 = 1.67 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Peanut butter should be stirred before measuring if the oil has separated. An unmixed jar will give inconsistent measurements.
