How Much Is 5 Teaspoons of Coconut Flour in Grams?
5 teaspoons of coconut flour weighs 13.33 g. This is based on coconut flour having a density of 128g 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 5 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 teaspoons of coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon of coconut flour = 2.67g
- 5 × 2.67 = 13.33g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Coconut flour clumps when stored. Sift or whisk it before measuring for consistent results.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
A teaspoon (tsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 4.929 milliliters or 1/3 of a tablespoon. It is the standard measure for spices, leaveners, extracts, and other small-quantity ingredients.
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.
