| Standard (1×) | 25g (0.88 oz) | 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp | 22.9 mL |

Measuring 25g 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, 25 Grams (25g) translates to 0.10 US cups (1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the chunky peanut butter measure (250g/cup — a 8g per-cup shift), 25g occupies 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (0.10 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (1.55 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 25 grams of creamy peanut butter? ▾
25 grams of creamy peanut butter (packed firmly into cup, 258g per US cup) equals 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp (0.10 US Customary Cups, 0.09 Metric 250 mL cups, or 1.55 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.
