How Much Is 136.4 Grams of Brown Sugar in Teaspoons?
136.4 grams of brown sugar equals 29.76 tsp. Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup. Because grams measure weight and teaspoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 136.4 grams of brown sugar
- 1 cup of brown sugar = 220g
- 136.4g ÷ 220g/cup = 0.62 cups × 48 = 29.76 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Light and dark brown sugar have the same density per cup (220g). The difference is molasses content, which affects flavor but not weight.

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 Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
