How to convert tablespoons of molasses to grams
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup. One cup of molasses weighs about 337 g, so one tablespoon is 21 g and 2 × 21 = 42 g.
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
How many grams is 2 tablespoons of molasses?
2 tablespoons of molasses is 42 grams, based on 337 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 molasses or measure it by volume?
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.
