How Much Is 8 Teaspoons of Coconut Sugar in Ounces?
8 teaspoons of coconut sugar equals 1.06 oz. Coconut sugar has a density of 180g per cup (3.75g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 8 teaspoons of honey would be 2.00 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8 teaspoons of coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon of coconut sugar = 3.75g
- 8 × 3.75 = 30g
- Convert grams to ounces: 30 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.06 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sugar is one of the easier dry ingredients to measure by volume because the crystals pack relatively consistently compared to flour or cocoa powder.

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?
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.
