150 grams of maple syrup = 0.47 cups (½ cup / 7.5 tbsp / 22.4 tsp)
Maple Syrup has a density of approximately 322g per cup. Grade A and Grade B are roughly equivalent in density. Source: USDA FoodData Central. This is the figure used everywhere on this page, including the tablespoon and teaspoon values, so the numbers stay consistent whether you're reading the summary line, the table, or the FAQ answers below.
| Grams | Cups | Fraction | Tablespoons | Teaspoons |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 130g | 0.40 | ⅜ | 6.5 | 19.4 |
| 140g | 0.43 | ⅜ | 7.0 | 20.9 |
| 150g | 0.47 | ½ | 7.5 | 22.4 |
| 160g | 0.50 | ½ | 8.0 | 23.9 |
| 170g | 0.53 | ½ | 8.4 | 25.3 |
How the 150g Figure Is Calculated
150g divided by 322g (the weight of one cup of maple syrup) equals 0.47 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 7.5 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 22.4 teaspoons, since one cup always equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons regardless of the ingredient.
Maple Syrup is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 150g of maple syrup fills less volume (110ml) than the same weight of water would (150ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 150 grams to cups page.
If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups
The 0.47 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 150g, that's ½ metric cups or ⅜ imperial cups of maple syrup, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.
Scaling 150g Up or Down
Doubling a recipe that calls for 150g of maple syrup means weighing 300g, or measuring 0.93 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 75g, or 0.23 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.
Maple Syrup vs. Other Sugars & Sweeteners
Within sugars & sweeteners, density still varies by ingredient. At 150g, honey (340g per cup) measures ½ cup, while brown sugar (220g per cup) measures ⅔ cup, compared to ½ cup for maple syrup. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Where 150g of Maple Syrup Fits in a Recipe
- Pancake and waffle servings typically use 30g to 60g of maple syrup.
- Maple-glazed dishes often call for 45g mixed with other glaze ingredients.
- Baked oatmeal recipes usually need about 60g to 80g.
How to Measure It Accurately
Sugars & Sweeteners
Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled. Brown sugar should be pressed firmly until it holds the cup's shape when turned out.
For exact results
Powdered sugar clumps easily during storage, so sifting it before measuring gives a more consistent, lump-free result. Liquid sweeteners like honey and maple syrup should be measured in a liquid cup and poured slowly to avoid trapping air bubbles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 150 grams of maple syrup in cups?+
150 grams of maple syrup is 0.47 cups (½ cup), or 7.5 tablespoons.
How do I measure 150 grams of maple syrup without a scale?+
Use ½ cup, spooned in and leveled off with a straight edge. If you only have tablespoons, use 7.5 tablespoons instead.
Why is maple syrup's gram-to-cup ratio different from other ingredients?+
Maple Syrup weighs 322g per cup because of its own density. Grade A and Grade B are roughly equivalent in density.
Does a metric or imperial cup change this 150g conversion?+
Yes, slightly. 150g of maple syrup is ½ metric cups or ⅜ imperial cups, versus ½ US cups, since each cup standard holds a different volume.
