|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 25g (0.88 oz) | 3 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp | 52.8 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 50g (1.76 oz) | ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp | 105.6 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 75g (2.65 oz) | ⅔ cup | 158.4 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 100g (3.53 oz) | ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + ¾ tsp | 211.2 mL |

Measuring 50g of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 50 Grams (50g) translates to 0.45 US cups (⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 50g occupies ⅓ cup + 2 ¾ tsp (0.39 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp (7.14 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.
