Ingredient Profile
Maple Syrup has a density of 322g per cup, based on USDA FoodData Central data. Grade A and Grade B are roughly equivalent in density.
Density can shift with brand, moisture content, or how the ingredient was packed before it reached your kitchen. Weighing on a scale removes that guesswork.
For comparison, honey is denser at 340g per cup, while panko breadcrumbs is lighter at 60g per cup — a reminder that weight per cup varies by ingredient, not by category alone.
How to Measure Maple Syrup in Cups
Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled. Brown sugar should be pressed firmly until it holds the cup's shape when turned out.
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.
If a recipe calls for maple syrup by weight instead of volume, a digital kitchen scale set to grams removes any measuring-technique variation entirely — the converter at the top of this page shows both figures side by side so you can check your result either way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams are in a cup of maple syrup?+
A cup of maple syrup weighs about 322g. Grade A and Grade B are roughly equivalent in density.
How do I measure maple syrup accurately?+
Granulated sugar should be spooned and leveled. Brown sugar should be pressed firmly until it holds the cup's shape when turned out.
Does maple syrup's weight per cup ever change?+
Yes, slightly. Grade A and Grade B are roughly equivalent in density. A kitchen scale removes that variation entirely.
What's the best way to convert maple syrup from grams to cups?+
Use the converter at the top of this page, or divide your gram amount by 322 to get cups.
Why does maple syrup weigh a different amount per cup than other sugars & sweeteners?+
Even within the same category, particle size, moisture, and packing differ enough to change the weight-per-cup figure by 10-30%. That's why this page uses a value measured specifically for maple syrup, not a category-wide average.
Is 322g per cup the same across every brand of maple syrup?+
It's close for most brands, though minor milling, processing, or moisture differences can shift the true figure by a few grams. USDA FoodData Central provides the reference value used here.
