Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.67g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 6 teaspoons of cinnamon
  2. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon = 2.67g
  3. 6 × 2.67 = 16g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 16 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.56 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Ground spices like cinnamon settle and compact during storage. Stir or fluff before measuring by volume for a consistent amount.

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 0.56 oz, based on cinnamon having a density of 128g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of teaspoons by 2.67 (grams per teaspoon for cinnamon), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 6 teaspoons: 6 × 2.67 = 16g, then 16 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.56 oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh cinnamon on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring spoon and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
