Craisins Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert craisins from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Craisins are sweetened dried cranberries, a sticky-sweet pantry staple for trail mix, oatmeal cookies, grain salads, and stuffing. One metric cup (250 ml) of craisins weighs about 120 grams or 4.23 ounces. When a recipe lists craisins in cups but you only have scales, converting by weight keeps the fruit-to-batter ratio right.
Dried cranberries clump and nest unevenly, so a packed cup can weigh 10 to 15 grams more than a loose one. Weighing in grams gives consistent results across cookies, granola, and bread loaves.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are craisins and dried cranberries the same thing?
- Yes. Dried cranberries is another name for craisins, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of craisins weighs 120 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 craisins in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of craisins 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 ounces is 1 US cup of craisins?
- 1 US cup of craisins is 4.06 ounces. Density carries that figure through any quantity, so 2 US cups is 8.12 ounces and 1/2 US cup is 2.03 ounces. Weighing beats measuring by volume here, since how firmly you fill the US cup shifts the result a little either way. The converter at the top of this page takes any amount.
- How many tablespoons is 1 ounce of craisins?
- 1 ounce of craisins comes to 3.94 tablespoons. Scaling is linear, so 2 ounces is 7.88 tablespoons and 1/2 ounce is 1.97 tablespoons. This is the direction you need when a recipe hands you a weight and you would rather not get the scales out. Type your own figure into the converter at the top of this page for anything in between.
- How much does a cup of craisins weigh?
- 1 cup of craisins in grams is 120 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 240 grams and half a cup is 60 grams. Weighing craisins 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 craisins in cups?
- 100 grams of craisins is 0.83 cups. The conversion scales in a straight line, so 200 grams is 1.67 cups and 50 grams is 0.42 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.
Related to Craisins
Dates
Chopped dates swap 1:1 by volume for craisins, trading tartness for sticky caramel sweetness. They weigh much more per cup (178 g vs 120 g), so weigh to keep cookies and trail mix balanced. See our Dates converter.
Dried Apricot Halves
Dried apricot halves are larger, leathery pieces (135 g per cup) compared with chewy bite-sized craisins (120 g per cup). Swap by weight if a recipe asks for halves, and expect mellow apricot flavour rather than the sweet-tart hit craisins bring. See our Dried Apricot Halves converter.
Chopped Dried Apricots
Chopped dried apricots are diced into bite-sized pieces, similar in scale to craisins but heavier (160 g vs 120 g per cup) and milder in flavour. Swap 1:1 by volume in cookies or granola, and weigh when the fruit ratio matters. See our Chopped Dried Apricots converter.
Sultanas
Sultanas are golden dried grapes, heavier than craisins (165 g vs 120 g per cup) and honey-sweet rather than tart. Swap 1:1 by volume in granola and scones when you want a mellower fruit note, or weigh when the ratio matters. See our Sultanas converter.
Raisins
Raisins are dark dried grapes, heavier than craisins (165 g vs 120 g per cup) and caramel-sweet rather than tart. Swap 1:1 by volume in oatmeal cookies and granola when you want a deeper fruit note, or weigh when the ratio matters. See our Raisins converter.
