Batch Scaling Around 120g Coconut Flour

|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 60g (2.12 oz) | ½ cup + 1 ¾ tsp | 126.7 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 120g (4.23 oz) | 1 cup + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp | 253.5 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 180g (6.35 oz) | 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp | 380.2 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 240g (8.47 oz) | 2 cups + 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp | 507 mL |

Measuring 120g of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 120 Grams (120g) translates to 1.07 US cups (1 cup + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 120g occupies ¾ cup + 3 tbsp (0.94 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp (17.14 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Spoon gently into cup and level. Because coconut flour absorbs 3 to 4 times its weight in moisture, weigh on a digital scale.
