How to convert tablespoons of coconut oil to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of coconut oil weighs about 218 g, so one tablespoon is 14 g and 5 × 14 = 68 g.
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 5 tablespoons of coconut oil?
5 tablespoons of coconut oil is 68 grams, based on 218 g per level US cup.
Is a tablespoon the same everywhere?
Almost. US and UK tablespoons hold about 15 ml and teaspoons about 5 ml. Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon is 20 ml (4 teaspoons), so use ¾ of an Australian tablespoon to match a US one.
Should I weigh coconut oil or measure it by volume?
Fats are close to water in density, so cup and gram amounts stay predictable. Weigh solid fats for the best accuracy. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
