How Much Is 2 Pints of Molasses in Ounces?
2 pints of molasses weighs 47.97 oz. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. Because pints measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2 pints.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 pints of molasses
- 1 pint of molasses = 680g
- 2 × 680 = 1,360g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,360 ÷ 28.3495 = 47.97 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pint?
