How Much Is 26 Grams of Maple Syrup in Teaspoons?
26 grams of maple syrup equals 4.00 tsp. Maple syrup has a density of 312g 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 26 grams of maple syrup
- 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
- 26g ÷ 312g/cup = 0.08 cups × 48 = 4.00 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like maple syrup are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring spoon first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

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?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
