Convert Cups to Grams: Coconut Oil
Convert cups of coconut oil to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because coconut oil density can vary by measuring technique.

|---|---|
| 1/8 cup | 27.3g |
| 1/4 cup | 54.5g |
| 1/3 cup | 72.7g |
| 1/2 cup | 109g |
| 2/3 cup | 145.3g |
| 3/4 cup | 163.5g |
| 1 cup | 218g |
| 1 1/4 cups | 272.5g |
| 1 1/2 cups | 327g |
| 2 cups | 436g |
| 3 cups | 654g |
| 4 cups | 872g |
Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Coconut oil is solid below 76°F (24°C) and liquid above. 1 cup solid or liquid = 218g (same weight). Melted coconut oil can substitute for vegetable oil 1:1 by weight. Adds subtle coconut flavor.
About Coconut Oil Density
The density of coconut oil determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.908g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of coconut oil weighs 218g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of coconut oil?
1 cup of coconut oil weighs 218 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
How many grams is 1/2 cup of coconut oil?
