How to convert ounces of molasses to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 16 oz = 454 g. One US cup of molasses weighs 337 g, so 454 ÷ 337 = 1.35 cups.
Sugar is fairly consistent by volume, but sticky syrups cling to the cup – grease it first so you get the full amount out.

Frequently asked questions

Sugar is fairly consistent by volume, but sticky syrups cling to the cup – grease it first so you get the full amount out. Weighing is always more accurate, which is why grams are the safest choice for baking.
