11 teaspoons of brown sugar equals 1.78 oz. Brown sugar has a density of 220g per cup (4.58g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 11 teaspoons of honey would be 2.75 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 11 teaspoons of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of brown sugar = 4.58g
- 11 × 4.58 = 50.42g
- Convert grams to ounces: 50.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.78 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Light and dark brown sugar have the same density per cup (220g). The difference is molasses content, which affects flavor but not weight.

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.
