How Much Is 2 Tablespoons of Corn Syrup in Ounces?
2 tablespoons of corn syrup weighs 1.45 oz. This is based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. Because tablespoons measure volume and ounces 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 corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon of corn syrup = 20.5g
- 2 × 20.5 = 41g
- Convert grams to ounces: 41 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.45 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like corn syrup 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?
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 an Ounce?
Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.
