How to Measure Molasses in Cups
Molasses is one of the thickest and stickiest ingredients in baking. The most practical way to measure it is to weigh it directly in your mixing bowl on a scale — 328 grams per cup. If you must use a cup, spray it thoroughly with cooking spray and scrape every bit out.
Molasses is used in gingerbread, baked beans, BBQ sauces, and dark breads. It provides deep, complex sweetness and significant color. Accurate measurement is important because molasses has a strong flavor — too much creates bitterness. Use the calculator above to convert cups to grams.
Pro tip: Stand the molasses jar in warm water for 10 minutes before measuring. The warmth thins the molasses enough to pour cleanly without losing any to the thick residue that clings to cold containers.
