How Much Is 1.5 Teaspoons of Maple Syrup in Ounces?
1.5 teaspoons of maple syrup equals 0.34 oz. Maple syrup has a density of 312g per cup (6.5g per teaspoon), which means it's relatively light compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 1.5 teaspoons of honey would be 0.37 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.5 teaspoons of maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of maple syrup = 6.5g
- 1.5 × 6.5 = 9.75g
- Convert grams to ounces: 9.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.34 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring spoon on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

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.
