Understanding Molasses Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 grams of molasses to ounces, divide by 28.3495 (the number of grams per ounce). So 1g ÷ 28.3495 = 0oz.
Measurement Tip
Measure molasses in a liquid measuring cup (the kind with a spout) placed on a flat surface. Read the measurement at eye level, looking at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). For sticky liquids like honey, lightly coat the measuring cup with oil first to help it slide out easily.
About Our Data
The density value of 1.41 g/ml for molasses is from the USDA FoodData Central database (ID: 169660). This measurement was taken with molasses poured into the measuring cup.

Weighing molasses gives more consistent results than volume measurements. A cup of molasses can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's measured (spooned vs scooped). Professional bakers always weigh ingredients for this reason.
Molasses has a density of 1.41 g/ml, meaning each milliliter weighs 1.41 grams. Different ingredients have different densities—for example, flour is lighter than sugar—which is why each needs its own conversion factor.
