How Much Is 15 Milliliters of Molasses in Ounces?
15 milliliters of molasses weighs 0.76 oz. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. Because milliliters measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 15 milliliters.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15 milliliters of molasses
- 1 milliliter of molasses = 1.44g
- 15 × 1.44 = 21.56g
- Convert grams to ounces: 21.56 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.76 oz
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?
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.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
