How to convert ounces of molasses to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 5 oz = 142 g. One US cup of molasses weighs 337 g, so 142 ÷ 337 = 0.42 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
How many cups is 5 ounces of molasses?
5 ounces of molasses is about ⅜ cup (0.42 cups), based on 337 g per level US cup.
Is it different with a UK or Australian cup?
Slightly. UK, Australian and New Zealand recipes use a 250 ml metric cup, which is about 6% bigger than a US cup (236.6 ml). In metric cups, 5 ounces of molasses is 0.4 cups.
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.
