Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.2 teaspoons of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil = 4.54g
- 2.2 × 4.54 = 9.99g
- Convert grams to ounces: 9.99 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.35 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
