How Much Is 2.04 Ounces of Molasses in Fluid Ounces?
Converting 2.04 ounces of molasses to fluid ounces gives 1.36 fl oz. First convert to grams (2.04 oz = 57.83g), then divide by the density of molasses (340g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.04 ounces of molasses
- Convert ounces to grams: 2.04 × 28.35 = 57.83g
- 1 cup of molasses = 340g
- 57.83g ÷ 340g/cup = 0.17 cups × 8 = 1.36 fluid ounces
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 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.
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.
