How Much Is 1 Teaspoon of Pumpkin Puree in Ounces?
1 teaspoon of pumpkin puree equals 0.18 oz. Pumpkin puree has a density of 245g per cup (5.10g 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 pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon of pumpkin puree = 5.10g
- 1 × 5.10 = 5.10g
- Convert grams to ounces: 5.10 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.18 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pumpkin puree is commonly used as a fat or egg substitute in baking. When substituting, convert by weight for accuracy.

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.
