How Much Is 2 Tablespoons of Almond Flour in Grams?
2 tablespoons of almond flour weighs 12.00 g. This is based on almond flour having a density of 96g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 tablespoons of almond flour
- 1 tablespoon of almond flour = 6g
- 2 × 6 = 12g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
Quick check: 2 tablespoons is just double the single-tablespoon weight. 1 tablespoon = 6g, so 2 = 12g.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.
Almond Flour at Different Amounts
How almond flour scales across common tablespoons measurements. Your amount (2 tablespoons) is highlighted.
For reference, 2 tablespoons of almond flour (12g) is close in weight to a AAA battery (11.5g).

Understanding the Units
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
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.
