Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 ounces of maple syrup
- Convert ounces to grams: 3 × 28.35 = 85.05g
- 1 cup of maple syrup = 312g
- 85.05g ÷ 312g/cup = 0.27 cups × 8 = 2.18 fluid ounces
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
What is a Fluid Ounce?
There are 8 fluid ounces in a US cup and 128 fluid ounces in a US gallon. The UK fluid ounce is slightly smaller (28.413 ml vs 29.574 ml), so UK and US recipes using fluid ounces will differ slightly.
