Gram Baking Equivalency Sheet (Basic Version)

Volume measurements in baking are unreliable. A cup of flour can vary by 20 to 30 grams depending on how it’s scooped, and that’s enough to change the texture of what you’re making. Grams are consistent every time.

This sheet gives you gram equivalents for 14 common baking ingredients across every standard volume measurement from 1 tablespoon to 1 cup. AP flour, bread flour, pastry flour, sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, jam, oil, butter, heavy cream, milk, yogurt, water, chocolate, and cocoa powder.

You’ve probably already seen this sheet on my YouTube channel. This is the printable version, one page, ready to keep in your kitchen.

Want temperature conversions, ounces to grams conversions, and common US measurement conversions like tablespoons to cups? Check out the Plus Version!

Matt’s note: I have two of these printed. One’s taped to the side of my fridge, the other lives next to my recipe books. Long before I was a dietitian, I was an aspiring pastry chef, and this is the sheet I made during my studies. I’ve used it for years. Hope it earns a spot on your fridge too. 

Happy baking!
