Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 21.25g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 9.42 tablespoons of molasses
  2. 1 tablespoon of molasses = 21.25g
  3. 9.42 × 21.25 = 200.18g

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 spoon first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

Understanding the Units

What is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.

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 200.18 g, based on molasses having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 21.25 (grams per tablespoon for molasses). For 9.42 tablespoons: 9.42 × 21.25 = 200.18 g.
Weighing molasses on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring spoon first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of molasses changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 200.18 g ÷ 21.25 = 9.42 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
