Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.17g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 16.2 teaspoons of granulated sugar
  2. 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar = 4.17g
  3. 16.2 × 4.17 = 67.5g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 67.5 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.38 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Granulated sugar should be spooned into the measuring spoon and leveled off. Do not pack it unless the recipe specifically says to (packing is only standard for brown sugar).

Understanding the Units

What is a Teaspoon?

In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.

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.
