How Much Is 2.67 Tablespoons of Molasses in Ounces?
2.67 tablespoons of molasses weighs 2.00 oz. This is based on molasses having a density of 340g 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 2.67 tablespoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.67 tablespoons of molasses
- 1 tablespoon of molasses = 21.25g
- 2.67 × 21.25 = 56.74g
- Convert grams to ounces: 56.74 ÷ 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
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?
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.
