How Much Is 20.26 Teaspoons of Granulated Sugar in Ounces?
20.26 teaspoons of granulated sugar weighs 2.98 oz. This is based on granulated sugar having a density of 200g 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 20.26 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 20.26 teaspoons of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar = 4.17g
- 20.26 × 4.17 = 84.42g
- Convert grams to ounces: 84.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.98 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?
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.
