Granola Calculator
Formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ 8.87 (approx.).
What Are Grams and Tablespoons?
A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). You need density to convert between them.1
Granola Density and Formula
Granola is a mixture of oats, nuts, seeds, and sweeteners. Depending on brand and clusters, density varies. An average estimate of ~0.6 g/mL gives ~8.87 g per tablespoon.
tablespoons = grams ÷ 8.87
grams = tablespoons Ã 8.87
Exact formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). Adjust the density for your specific granola if you know it.2
Note: Cluster size and mix-ins change packing; weigh for best accuracy.

Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Weigh if possible: A kitchen scale beats volume for accuracy.
- Break large clusters: Cluster size can trap air and lower density.
- Don’t pack: Spoon lightly and level the tablespoon for consistency.
- Consistency: Use the same technique each time for recipe repeatability.
