Formula and Step-by-Step

grams ÷ 128g/cup × 48 = teaspoons
  1. Start with 5 grams of coconut flour
  2. 1 cup of coconut flour = 128g
  3. 5g ÷ 128g/cup = 0.04 cups × 48 = 1.88 teaspoons

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Coconut flour clumps when stored. Sift or whisk it before measuring for consistent results.

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 Teaspoon?

A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 1.88 tsp, based on coconut flour having a density of 128g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Divide the grams by 128 (grams per cup) to get cups, then multiply by 48 to get teaspoons. For 5 grams: 5 ÷ 128 = 0.04 cups × 48 = 1.88 tsp.
For the most accurate results, weigh coconut flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 128 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 140.8 to 160 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 1.88 tsp ÷ 48 = 0.0390625 cups, then 0.0390625 × 128g/cup = 5g. Or use the Teaspoons to Grams converter.
