Measuring 175g of Creamy Peanut Butter in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of creamy peanut butter weighs 258g when measured packed firmly into cup, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 0.68 US cups (⅔ cup). By contrast, using the chunky peanut butter measure (250g/cup — a 8g per-cup shift), 175g occupies ⅔ cup + 1 ½ tsp (0.70 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅔ cup (10.85 tablespoons total) using packed firmly into cup technique. Dense and sticky; pack firmly into a dry measuring cup with a rubber spatula to purge air pockets, or coat the cup in non-stick oil spray.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cups is 175 grams of creamy peanut butter? ▾
175 grams of creamy peanut butter (packed firmly into cup, 258g per US cup) equals ⅔ cup (0.68 US Customary Cups, 0.64 Metric 250 mL cups, or 10.85 tablespoons).
Why is chunky peanut butter slightly lighter per cup than creamy? ▾
Rough peanut pieces cannot pack together as seamlessly as homogeneous puree, leaving small gaps that reduce cup weight by ~8g.
Can natural peanut butter be swapped 1:1 for commercial creamy peanut butter? ▾
Yes by weight, but stir thoroughly to integrate separated oil, and consider cookies may spread slightly more due to lack of hydrogenated palm oil.
