Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 13.75g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.89 tablespoons of brown sugar
  2. 1 tablespoon of brown sugar = 13.75g
  3. 0.89 × 13.75 = 12.24g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 12.24 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.43 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Brown sugar should always be firmly packed into the measuring spoon. Loosely measured brown sugar can weigh 15-20% less than packed.
