| Standard (1×) | 85g (3 oz) | ¾ cup | 179.6 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 127.5g (4.5 oz) | 1 ⅛ cups | 269.3 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 170g (6 oz) | 1 ½ cups + ¾ tsp | 359.1 mL |

Measuring 85g of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of coconut flour weighs 112g when measured spooned & leveled, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.76 US cups (¾ cup). By contrast, using the scooped from canister measure (128g/cup — a 16g per-cup shift), 85g occupies ⅔ cup (0.66 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup (12.14 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.
