Peanuts are used in baking, confectionery, trail mixes, and savoury dishes across many cuisines. One metric cup (250 ml) of raw whole peanuts weighs around 154 grams or 5.43 ounces. When a recipe calls for peanuts by weight, you avoid the packing variation that comes with a cup measure.

Whole peanuts settle and pack differently depending on their size and how the cup is filled, so a loosely poured cup can weigh notably less than a firmly packed one. A gram weight removes that variable.

Peanut butter is peanuts ground to a paste, used in many of the same baking recipes. At 268 g per cup it is much denser than whole peanuts (154 g per cup); swap by weight, not by volume. See peanut butter in ounces.

Pecans are a sweet, buttery alternative to peanuts in cookies and brownies. Pecans are lighter per cup (109 g vs 154 g for peanuts), so convert by weight when substituting. See pecans in ounces.

Cashew nuts are a creamy, milder alternative to peanuts in baking. They have a similar weight per cup (145 g vs 154 g for peanuts), making them an easy swap by weight. See cashew nuts in ounces.

Walnuts are a tree nut alternative to peanuts with an earthier, more bitter flavour. Walnuts are much lighter per cup (106 g vs 154 g for peanuts), so always swap by weight. See walnuts in ounces.
