How Much Is 1 Tablespoon of Maple Syrup in Ounces?
1 tablespoon of maple syrup equals 0.69 oz. Maple syrup has a density of 312g per cup (19.5g per tablespoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1 tablespoon of honey would be 0.75 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon of maple syrup = 19.5g
- 1 × 19.5 = 19.5g
- Convert grams to ounces: 19.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.69 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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 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.
