How Much Is 1 Teaspoon of Corn Syrup in Ounces?
1 teaspoon of corn syrup equals 0.24 oz. Corn syrup has a density of 328g per cup (6.83g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1 teaspoon of honey would be 0.25 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 teaspoon of corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon of corn syrup = 6.83g
- 1 × 6.83 = 6.83g
- Convert grams to ounces: 6.83 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.24 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.

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.
