How Much Is 2 Pints of Molasses in Grams?
2 pints of molasses equals 1,360.00 g. Molasses has a density of 340g per cup (680g per pint), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 2 pints of all-purpose flour would be 500.64 g.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 pints of molasses
- 1 pint of molasses = 680g
- 2 × 680 = 1,360g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
Quick check: 2 pints is just double the single-pint weight. 1 pint = 680g, so 2 = 1,360g.
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 Pint?
A US pint equals 473.176 ml, 2 cups, or 16 fluid ounces. It is used for liquids, ice cream, and other volume measurements in American cooking.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
