How Much Is 11.71 Teaspoons of Butter in Ounces?
11.71 teaspoons of butter weighs 1.95 oz. This is based on butter having a density of 227g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 11.71 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 11.71 teaspoons of butter
- 1 teaspoon of butter = 4.73g
- 11.71 × 4.73 = 55.38g
- Convert grams to ounces: 55.38 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.95 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cold butter straight from the fridge is hardest to measure by volume. Cut it into tablespoon-sized pieces using the wrapper markings for accuracy.

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.
