200 Grams of Ground Cinnamon to Cups

200 grams of ground cinnamon = 1.60 cups (1⅝ cup / 25.6 tbsp / 76.8 tsp)

How the 200g Figure Is Calculated

Ground Cinnamon is lighter than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 200g of ground cinnamon takes up more volume (379ml) than the same weight of water would (200ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 200 grams to cups page.

If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups

The 1.60 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 200g, that's 1½ metric cups or 1⅓ imperial cups of ground cinnamon, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.

Scaling 200g Up or Down

Doubling a recipe that calls for 200g of ground cinnamon means weighing 400g, or measuring 3.20 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 100g, or 0.80 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.

Where 200g of Ground Cinnamon Fits in a Recipe

• Cinnamon rolls typically use 10g to 15g in the filling.
• Spiced baked goods often call for just 3g to 6g (1 to 2 teaspoons).
• Mulled cider recipes usually need 1 to 2 cinnamon sticks or 3g ground.

How to Measure It Accurately

• Spices & Herbs

  Spoon lightly into a measuring spoon and level with a straight edge. Ground spices settle quickly, so avoid tapping the spoon.

• For exact results

  Freshly ground spices are typically denser than pre-ground, store-bought versions, which lose some volume as they age and settle in the container over time.
