How Much Is 4.45 Teaspoons of Baking Powder in Grams?
4.45 teaspoons of baking powder weighs 21.32 g. This is based on baking powder having a density of 230g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 4.45 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.45 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder = 4.79g
- 4.45 × 4.79 = 21.32g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Leavener measurements are critical because even small differences affect rise and texture. When possible, weigh baking powder rather than relying on volume.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
