Convert Almond Butter measurements

Almond Butter Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert almond butter from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Almond butter is roasted almonds ground into a smooth or crunchy paste, used as a spread and in cookies, smoothies, and energy bars. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 256 grams or 9.03 ounces. When a recipe gives almond butter in cups but your jar lists grams, converting by weight saves scraping a sticky cup measure.

Almond butter is thick and clings to cups, so scooping a level cup is hard. Weighing in grams gives accurate amounts without the mess of scraping it all out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are almond butter and smooth almond butter the same thing?
Yes. Smooth almond butter is another name for almond butter, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of almond butter weighs 256 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
What is 0.25 cups of almond butter in tablespoons?
0.25 cups of almond butter is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
How many grams is 1 teaspoon of almond butter?
1 teaspoon of almond butter is 5.12 grams. Density carries that figure through any quantity, so 2 teaspoons is 10.24 grams and 1/2 teaspoon is 2.56 grams. Weighing beats measuring by volume here, since how firmly you fill the teaspoon shifts the result a little either way. The converter at the top of this page takes any amount.
How much does a cup of almond butter weigh?
1 cup of almond butter in grams is 256 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 512 grams and half a cup is 128 grams. Weighing almond butter by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. The chart above this FAQ lists the cup amounts recipes call for, and the converter at the top handles anything between them.
How do you measure almond butter in cups?
100 grams of almond butter is 0.39 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 0.78 cups and 50 grams is 0.2 cups. Grams to cups helps when a recipe gives a weight but you measure with cups. The chart above this FAQ covers the other weights cooks measure out.
How do you measure almond butter in tablespoons?
50 grams of almond butter is 3.26 tablespoons. The ratio is fixed, so 100 grams is 6.51 tablespoons and 25 grams is 1.63 tablespoons. Tablespoons are handy for smaller amounts when you would rather not get out the scales. The chart above this FAQ turns the other common weights into tablespoons too.

Related to Almond Butter

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter swaps 1:1 by volume for almond butter and is close in weight (268 g vs 256 g per cup). It brings a stronger roasted, slightly saltier flavour, so cookies and bars taste nuttier; texture and bake time stay the same. Choose unsweetened to match almond butter most closely. See our Peanut Butter converter.

Sunflower Seed Butter

Sunflower seed butter is the nut-free 1:1 swap, close in weight (250 g vs 256 g per cup). It works in the same cookies, sauces, and smoothies with a slightly earthier, more savoury taste. Note it can react with baking soda and turn bakes a little green, which is harmless. See our Sunflower Seed Butter converter.

Hulled Tahini

Hulled tahini swaps 1:1 for almond butter in dressings, sauces, and bars, and pours looser (240 g vs 256 g per cup). It is more savoury and a little bitter, so it suits halva and dressings better than sweet cookies, where almond butter stays milder and richer. See our Hulled Tahini converter.

Almonds

Almond butter is whole almonds ground to a paste, far denser per cup (256 g vs 143 g for whole almonds). To make your own, blend roasted almonds with a little oil until smooth; weigh rather than swapping by volume. See our Almonds converter.
