Peanut Butter Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert peanut butter from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Peanut butter is roasted peanuts ground into a thick, oily paste, sold smooth or crunchy. One metric cup (250 ml) of peanut butter weighs around 268 grams or 9.45 ounces. It is used in cookies, brownies, no-bake bars, satay sauce, and as a spread for toast and sandwiches.
Peanut butter is sticky and clings to measuring cups, so scooping reliably is hard. Weighing in grams gives accurate amounts without the mess of scraping out a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are peanut butter and smooth peanut butter the same thing?
- Yes. Smooth peanut butter is another name for peanut butter, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of peanut butter weighs 268 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 peanut butter in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of peanut 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 much does a cup of peanut butter weigh?
- 1 cup of peanut butter in grams is 268 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 536 grams and half a cup is 134 grams. Weighing peanut butter by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. See the full cup to grams chart for peanut butter, or use the converter on this page for any other amount. 1 cup peanut butter in grams

Related to Peanut Butter
Almond Butter
Almond butter swaps 1:1 by volume for peanut butter and is a touch lighter per cup (256 g vs 268 g). It tastes milder and slightly sweeter, so cookies and bars come out less salty; texture and bake time stay the same. Pick unsweetened to match peanut butter most closely. See our Almond Butter converter.
Sunflower Seed Butter
Sunflower seed butter is the nut-free 1:1 swap, lighter per cup (250 g vs 268 g). It works in the same cookies, bars, and sauces with an earthier, more savoury taste. Note it can react with baking soda and tint a bake slightly green, which is harmless. See our Sunflower Seed Butter converter.
Hulled Tahini
Hulled tahini swaps 1:1 for peanut butter in satay, sauces, and bars, and pours looser (240 g vs 268 g per cup). It is more savoury and a little bitter, so add a touch of honey in sweet bakes; both are smooth pastes that bind a recipe the same way. See our Hulled Tahini converter.
Butter
Butter is a dairy fat that creams with sugar to build structure and lift, while peanut butter is an oily paste that adds dense flavour. They are close in weight (227 g vs 268 g per cup), so weigh when swapping in cookies and bars; expect a nuttier, denser result from peanut butter. See our Butter converter.
Peanuts
Peanuts are the whole form used for crunch and texture where peanut butter adds creaminess. A cup of peanuts (154 g) is much lighter than a cup of peanut butter (268 g); always swap by weight. See our Peanuts converter.
