How Much Is 15 Teaspoons of Yogurt in Ounces?
15 teaspoons of yogurt equals 2.70 oz. Yogurt 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, 15 teaspoons of honey would be 3.75 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 15 teaspoons of yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of yogurt = 5.10g
- 15 × 5.10 = 76.56g
- Convert grams to ounces: 76.56 ÷ 28.3495 = 2.70 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

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.
