| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 15g (0.53 oz) | ⅛ cup | 31.7 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 30g (1.06 oz) | ¼ cup + ¾ tsp | 63.4 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 45g (1.59 oz) | ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp | 95.1 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 60g (2.12 oz) | ½ cup + 1 ¾ tsp | 126.7 mL |

Measuring 30g of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 30 Grams (30g) translates to 0.27 US cups (¼ cup + ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 30g occupies 3 tbsp + 2 ¼ tsp (0.23 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¼ cup + ¾ tsp (4.29 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.
