Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 20 teaspoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of all-purpose flour = 2.61g
- 20 × 2.61 = 52.15g
- Convert grams to ounces: 52.15 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.84 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Different flour types have very different weights per cup. Always check the specific flour your recipe calls for rather than using a generic "flour" conversion.

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 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.
