Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 19.5g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2.91 tablespoons of maple syrup
  2. 1 tablespoon of maple syrup = 19.5g
  3. 2.91 × 19.5 = 56.75g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 56.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.00 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Sticky liquids like maple 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?

A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.

What is an Ounce?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 2.00 oz, based on maple syrup having a density of 312g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of tablespoons by 19.5 (grams per tablespoon for maple syrup), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 2.91 tablespoons: 2.91 × 19.5 = 56.75g, then 56.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.00 oz.
Weighing maple syrup 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 maple syrup 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: 2.00 oz × 28.3495 = 56.75g, then 56.75g ÷ 19.5 = 2.91 tablespoons. Or use the Ounces to Tablespoons converter.
