Convert Cups to Grams: Ground Cinnamon
Convert cups of ground cinnamon to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of ground cinnamon = 119g (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 ground cinnamon density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Ground cinnamon is a light, fine powder. 1 teaspoon = 2.5g. Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon weigh the same per volume. Most "cinnamon" in US stores is Cassia. Freshly ground sticks weigh slightly more per volume.
About Ground Cinnamon Density
The density of ground cinnamon determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.496g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of ground cinnamon weighs 119g 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.
