How Much Is 5.45 Teaspoons of Coconut Sugar in Grams?
5.45 teaspoons of coconut sugar weighs 20.44 g. This is based on coconut sugar having a density of 180g 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 5.45 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.45 teaspoons of coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar = 3.75g
- 5.45 × 3.75 = 20.44g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Coconut sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
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.
