Measuring 8 oz of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 8 Ounces (226.8g) translates to 2.02 US cups (2 cups + 1 ¼ tsp). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 8 oz occupies 1 ¾ cups + 1 tsp (1.77 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 cups + 1 ¼ tsp (32.4 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.
