How Much Is 6.01 Ounces of Peanut Butter in Cups?
6.01 ounces of peanut butter equals 0.66 cups. Peanut butter has a density of 258g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 6.01 ounces of peanut butter
- Convert ounces to grams: 6.01 × 28.35 = 170.38g
- 1 cup of peanut butter = 258g
- 170.38g ÷ 258g/cup = 0.66 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Spoon peanut butter into the measuring cup and pack gently to fill gaps. Do not scoop directly from the jar, which traps air.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
