How Much Is 12 Tablespoons of Coconut Flour in Grams?

12 tablespoons of coconut flour weighs 96.00 g. This is based on coconut flour having a density of 128g 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 12 tablespoons.

Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 8g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 12 tablespoons of coconut flour
  2. 1 tablespoon of coconut flour = 8g
  3. 12 × 8 = 96g

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Coconut flour absorbs 3-4x more liquid than wheat flour. When substituting, use about 1/4 to 1/3 the amount and add extra liquid or eggs.

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 96.00 g, based on coconut flour having a density of 128g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 8 (grams per tablespoon for coconut flour). For 12 tablespoons: 12 × 8 = 96.00 g.
For the most accurate results, weigh coconut flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.
Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 128 grams per cup. If you dip directly into the flour bag and sweep level, the flour packs tighter and you can end up with 140.8 to 160 grams per cup instead. This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
Reverse the conversion: 96.00 g ÷ 8 = 12 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
