How Much Is 1 Milliliter of Molasses in Ounces?
1 milliliter of molasses equals 0.05 oz. 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, 1 milliliter of honey would be 0.05 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 milliliter of molasses
- 1 milliliter of molasses = 1.44g
- 1 × 1.44 = 1.44g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1.44 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.05 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
What is a Milliliter?
Most kitchen measuring cups outside the US are marked in milliliters. A standard metric cup is 250 ml. When converting American recipes, 1 US cup = 236.588 ml.
