Convert Cups to Grams: Maple Syrup
Convert cups of maple syrup to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of maple syrup = 322g (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 maple syrup density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Maple syrup is denser than water but lighter than honey. 1 cup = 322g. Grade A Light Amber vs Dark Amber have same density. Substitute honey 3/4 cup maple syrup per 1 cup honey (maple is thinner). Natural sweetener.
About Maple Syrup Density
The density of maple syrup determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 1.342g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of maple syrup weighs 322g 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
