How Much Is 1 Teaspoon of Breadcrumbs in Ounces?
1 teaspoon of breadcrumbs equals 0.08 oz. Breadcrumbs has a density of 108g per cup (2.25g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1 teaspoon of honey would be 0.25 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 teaspoon of breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon of breadcrumbs = 2.25g
- 1 × 2.25 = 2.25g
- Convert grams to ounces: 2.25 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.08 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.

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 an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
