How many grams does 1 cup of olive oil weigh?

Make a heart healthy substitution for your family. Substitute olive oil for butter in many recipes, including baking. Use the below chart to convert your recipes and to reduce cholesterol and saturated fat content.

We get it, sometimes there is no substitute for butter - but this simple swap works more often than you might think, especially in recipes that call for softened or melted butter. Baked goods made with olive oil have great texture and stay moist longer. Try a pure or light olive oil for a milder taste, or experiment with a fruitier extra virgin oil for more complexity.

If you are using the metric system, check to see if you recipe measures the butter in grams or ml.

Use the chart below to convert butter in millilitres (liquid measures) to olive oil in your recipes.

If your recipe lists butter in grams (by weight), use this chart to convert into liquid measures (mL).

Note: Since the volume measurement of an ingredient depends on how you pack the measuring cup/spoon and on the ingredient itself (how it is cut, its density, its water content), the volume-to-weight conversions are not absolute: they are simply a reflection of my own experience.

Finally after four years I can check something off my to do list: make a cups to gram conversion chart for common cooking ingredients!

As an American living in the UK I’ve had my fair share of headaches as I convert ingredients to and from the metric system. At this point I’ve gotten pretty good at converting things over in my head, but there are still SO many that I’m constantly having to look up.

So for your sake and mine I’ve compiled a list of some of the most widely used ingredients converted from cups to grams to ounces (and sometimes millilitres!).

Cups to Grams Disclaimer

The frustrating thing about converting between cups to grams is that you’ll often find different results for how much something weighs based on where you look. This is because how you measure out a cup can look very different depending on your method.

Think about brown sugar: in recipes using cups you’ll often see brown sugar followed by ‘tightly packed’ or ‘lightly packed’. A tightly packed cup of brown sugar will weigh more than a lightly packed cup because there’s more in it – it’s got more density!

These amounts are based off of what I get in my own kitchen with my kitchen scale. I tried to make sure my amounts listed are as accurate as possible, but sometimes things might just be a little bit off. That being said I did cross check all of my amounts with online results to come up with the most universal result.

How to find what you’re looking for

As of now I’ve organised everything alphabetically so you can just scroll until you find what you’re looking for. I recommend using a search shortcut to search the ingredient specifically:

Press. Ctrl + F (Windows) or ⌘ Command + F (Mac) and then type in your ingredient in the search box.

Feel free to bookmark this page for future use. I’ll be adding more ingredients and conversions all the time. If you have any requests for conversions you’d like to see just let me know in the comments and I’ll add a chart for you!
