| Half Batch (0.5×) | 200g (7.05 oz) | 1 ¾ cups + 1 ¾ tsp | 422.5 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 400g (14.11 oz) | 3 ½ cups + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp | 845 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 600g (21.16 oz) | 5 ⅓ cups + 1 ¼ tsp | 1267.4 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 800g (28.22 oz) | 7 cups + 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp | 1689.9 mL |

Measuring 400g of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 400 Grams (400g) translates to 3.57 US cups (3 ½ cups + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 400g occupies 3 ⅛ cups (3.13 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 3 ½ cups + 1 tbsp + ½ tsp (57.14 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.
