Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 21.25g/tbsp = grams
  1. Start with 9.44 tablespoons of molasses
  2. 1 tablespoon of molasses = 21.25g
  3. 9.44 × 21.25 = 200.6g

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 200.60 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 9.44 tablespoons: 9.44 × 21.25 = 200.60 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: 200.60 g ÷ 21.25 = 9.44 tablespoons. Or use the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
