How Much Is 2.24 Teaspoons of Coconut Oil in Ounces?
2.24 teaspoons of coconut oil weighs 0.36 oz. This is based on coconut oil having a density of 218g 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 2.24 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2.24 teaspoons of coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil = 4.54g
- 2.24 × 4.54 = 10.17g
- Convert grams to ounces: 10.17 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.36 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring spoon for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.

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.
