So your recipe calls for 60 grams, and now you’re staring at your cups thinking, “How on earth do I measure that?”
Here’s the fun (okay, not so fun) part: cups and grams aren’t exactly on speaking terms. And every ingredient? It’s got its own rules.
It depends on the density of the ingredient.
Lucky for you, we’ve rounded up a simple converter, fridge-worthy printables, and ingredient cheatsheets to make this whole process painless.

60 grams to cups conversion – the easy way
You’re all set to bake a batch of delicious crepes, and the recipe says you need 60 grams of all-purpose flour. But wait—your measuring cups are sitting on the counter, and you’re wondering: how many cups is that?
It sounds like it should be simple, right? But flour has a way of keeping things interesting. Unlike heavier ingredients, flour is light and airy, and the way you fill your cup can make a big difference.
Here’s why: if you scoop flour straight from the bag, it tends to pack down into the cup, giving you more flour than you might actually need. On the other hand, if you spoon it in gently or sift it first, it remains loose and fluffy, occupying more space for the same weight.
This is all about density. Think of density as how much weight fits into a certain amount of space. Packed flour is denser—it weighs more per cup. Fluffy, sifted flour? That’s lighter and fills the cup without being as heavy.
Even small things, like humidity in the air, can play a part. Flour stored in a damp kitchen may clump slightly and feel heavier, whereas dry flour remains looser.
But there’s nothing to worry, we can still figure out an easy estimate using an average weight for all-purpose flour.
Here’s how to break it down:
You’ve got 60 grams of flour.
On average, 1 cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 120 grams.
This is the formula:
Cups = weight in grams ÷ grams per cup
Now divide:
60 ÷ 120 = 1/2 cups
In simple terms: 60 grams of all-purpose flour is equal to half a cup.
Don’t forget, if you’re scooping directly from the bag and it’s packed tightly, you might end up with slightly more flour in your cup than the weight suggests. For best results, spoon it in lightly or level it off with a knife.
Are you still stuck trying to turn grams into cups? This easy grams-to-cups conversion guide has you sorted with ingredient tables, global conversions with US, EU and Australian cups and more free printable conversion charts.

60 grams to cups FAQs
Solid butter weighs the same whether it’s salted or unsalted, so 60 grams comes to about ¼ cup plus 1 teaspoon. Melted butter, however, settles more compactly and will measure slightly less for the same weight.
For granulated sugar, 60 grams is about ¼ cup plus 2 teaspoons. Since sugar grains are dense and don’t trap air, the measurement stays consistent even if scooped or poured.
Whole raw almonds measure around ⅓ cup for 60 grams. If the almonds are sliced or chopped, they take up more space and the same weight will be closer to ½ cup. Toasting them reduces moisture slightly and can increase their volume.
Dry, fine breadcrumbs are denser, and 60 grams comes to about ⅞ cup. If you’re using fresh breadcrumbs, which are lighter and fluffier, they’ll take up closer to 1 cup for the same weight.
Liquid chicken broth is very similar to water in density, so 60 grams is just about ¼ cup. A thicker homemade broth with fat or solids may vary slightly in volume.
Cooked rice is fluffy and airy, so 60 grams fills close to ¼ cup. Stickier varieties like sushi rice may pack tighter and take up less room than long-grain types like basmati.
For finely shredded, unsweetened coconut, 60 grams is roughly ⅞ cup. If the coconut is coarsely shredded, it will trap more air and may measure closer to 1 cup.
Crumbled feta is light and airy, and 60 grams measures about ⅓ cup. If you cut the feta into small cubes, it settles more densely in the cup and comes closer to ¼ cup.
Ghee is dense and rich, so 60 grams equals about ¼ cup plus ½ teaspoon when solid. If melted, it’s slightly less because it loses air pockets and settles more evenly.
Greek yogurt is thick and creamy, and 60 grams equals about ¼ cup. If you’re using a lower-fat or thinner yogurt, it may settle differently and measure slightly less in volume.
It depends on the form of coffee. Whole coffee beans weigh more compactly and 60 grams measures about ¾ cup. Once ground, the same weight fills closer to 1 cup because the finer particles trap more air. The grind size (coarse vs fine) can shift the measurement slightly too.
Heavy cream is similar in weight to milk, so 60 grams is just under ¼ cup, about 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. Whipping cream straight from the carton measures consistently, but if whipped, the same weight expands dramatically and fills more space.
