How Much Is 100 Milliliters of Molasses in Grams?
100 milliliters of molasses equals 143.71 g. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup (1.44g per milliliter), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 100 milliliters of honey would be 143.71 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 100 milliliters of molasses
- 1 milliliter of molasses = 1.44g
- 100 × 1.44 = 143.71g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like molasses are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

Understanding the Units
What is a Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
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.
