450 Grams of Maple Syrup in Cups
450 grams of maple syrup doesn't land on a clean fraction, so the result below is calculated exactly rather than rounded to a common measure. Based on a density of 322g per cup, it equals 1.40 cups.

450 grams of maple syrup = 1.40 cups (1⅜ cup / 22.4 tbsp / 67.1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 400g | 1.24 | 1¼ | 19.9 | 59.6 |
| 425g | 1.32 | 1⅓ | 21.1 | 63.4 |
| 450g | 1.40 | 1⅜ | 22.4 | 67.1 |
| 475g | 1.48 | 1½ | 23.6 | 70.8 |
| 500g | 1.55 | 1½ | 24.8 | 74.5 |
How 450g Converts, Step by Step
450g divided by 322g (the weight of one cup of maple syrup) equals 1.40 cups. Multiplying that by 16 gives 22.4 tablespoons, and by 48 gives 67.1 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 450g of maple syrup fills less volume (331ml) than the same weight of water would (451ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 450 grams to cups page.
If You're Using a Metric or Imperial Cup
The 1.40 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 450g, that's 1⅓ metric cups or 1⅛ 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 This 450g Amount
Doubling a recipe that calls for 450g of maple syrup means weighing 900g, or measuring 2.80 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 225g, or 0.70 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 Next to Other Sugars & Sweeteners
Within sugars & sweeteners, density still varies by ingredient. At 450g, honey (340g per cup) measures 1⅓ cup, while brown sugar (220g per cup) measures 2⅛ cups, compared to 1⅜ cup for maple syrup. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.
Where This Amount Shows Up in Recipes
- 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.
Measuring This Precisely
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 450 grams of maple syrup in cups exactly?+
450 grams of maple syrup equals 1.40 cups, based on a density of 322g per cup.
Why doesn't 450g of maple syrup match a simple fraction?+
450g isn't a multiple of maple syrup's per-cup weight, so the cup value lands between common fractions. The closest practical measure is 1⅜ cup.
What's the most reliable way to measure 450g of maple syrup?+
A kitchen scale set to grams gives an exact 450g reading. Cups only approximate this amount, since 1⅜ cup rounds to the nearest practical fraction.
Is 450g likely a typo for a rounder amount?+
Possibly, if a recipe seems to expect a cleaner number. Check the nearby amounts table below for the closest common gram values for maple syrup.
