Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 3.33g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.5 teaspoons of steel cut oats
  2. 1 teaspoon of steel cut oats = 3.33g
  3. 0.5 × 3.33 = 1.67g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 1.67 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.06 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Oats come in multiple forms (rolled, steel-cut, instant) that have different densities. Steel-cut oats are nearly twice as heavy per cup as rolled oats.

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?

Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
